Some info on, and a question about breaks
Instead of bugging Bryan directly this time I thought I'd post to the list.

I've been going through the archives to see if there is an answer to my
question, and I saw a question that I can answer, so lets go ahead and get
that in the archives.

The sun alternate break sequence is "\\r~^b" (enter, ~, ^b)

Or at least that works for me - and our suns are all set to use the alternat
break sequence.

Further more I've set break2 to the "default" break sequence, that being
"\\r~\#" which is enter, ~, #. That works well.

But for when the OS is not booted, and you need to send a serial break, I
added:

"\\z" as break3. However, since we're using an SSH tunnel to get from
conserver to the cyclade terminal servers, that just kills the SSH session and
the conserver re-establishes it.

So then I tried "\\r~\\z" but that does the same thing. How do I send a serial
break when I'm using an ssh tunnel from conserver to the cyclades?

Thanks.

well, this is a total guess, but openssh (v2) apparently has a '~B'
sequence that should trigger a break on the other side of the
connection. so, i'd try that. the openssh manpage makes it sound like
many things could make it fail, so cross your fingers.

good luck! and if you get it to work, it would be nice to record it on
the list.
