Details?  I have used it on vt420's.  I usually have to do this in
.emacs, though:

(enable-flow-control-on "vt420") ; or whatever you have coming up 
                                 ; in (getenv "TERM")

Make sure you look at the docs for flow-control, since it redefines the
C-s and C-q keys also.
