[Please disregard the BS in the earlier answers to your post (there is
no shell in the picture).]
I do not think you have a chance; this is a serious bug in the design
of TTYs (it should have been the shell who enables SUSP tty setting,
not the creator of TTY). I think I saw something in XTerm changelog
http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html
to address this shortcoming. You may also try disabling tty's SUSP
setting from inside emacs in this situation:
xterm -e env NO_SHELL=yes emacs -nw
and check for NO_SHELL in your .emacs (do not know how to do analogue
of stty from within emacs; of couse, you can call stty directly).
Hope this helps,
Ilya
