Actually, UNIX has a way of preventing text from scrolling by so fast that
you can't read it ( or reach ^S before it goes by ).  There is a scroll rate
parameter setable vis stty.  I am sure most UNIXs have it.  Just do a stty
followed by a number indicating the desired scroll rate.  Higher numbers are
faster ( note: not all numbers are available - check your manual ).  For
example, a "stty 300" will set the scroll rate to 1/32 of what most people
have it set at.  If you are real slow, try "stty 75".

Oh, you may have to adjust some switches on your terminal.  Good luck!
