Creeping along with ESS ... more details

Rich,

thanks for your patience with my line of questioning.

My apologies.  I did not mention earlier that I'm using ssh rather than 
telnet, because when I type telnet I get

Signal 127

(Rich, what version of telnet are you using?)

When I use ssh then I can't use M-x send-invisible; it says "Current buffer 
has no process", however it prompts for the password with "Non-echoed text" 
in the buffer so perhaps it's defaulting to send-invisible?

It means that I hear nothing from the other computer.  I can get a ssh or a 
telnet session going outside XEmacs, so I don't think that's the 
problem.  XEmacs doesn't freeze.  If I hit return often it scrolls down the 
buffer.
