Mailing List Archive: Sending BREAK to a Open Gear console server

I am having some trouble configuring conserver to send a BREAK to an
Open Gear console server.

The break sequence for this console server is ~b
When I am connected through conserver I can use ~b directly from my
keyboard and get the right results (the host halts - ok)

In my conserver.cf file I have:
break 4 { string "~b"; }

On the conserver console connection when I use ^Ecl4 it sends a '~b' but
this is not seen as a break signal by the console server, it is sent to
the port as text, (and I get a response from the host - not ok)

What am I doing wrong?

this is a semi-random guess, but you might want to try "~\db" as the
break sequence. suns, for example, require a bit of a delay in between
their character sequences to know that it's a human typing instead of a
computer sending data down the line (or, at least, they used to for
certain implementations) and opengear might be using a similar technique.

you can tweak the delays with the delay option in the break definition,
if the default of 250ms isn't enough. i can't imagine what else might
be going on.
