To BREAK or Not to BREAK

Gotta quick question for you all. We have a PM2E that we are currently
using as a remote terminal connection to our Sun boxes. It's up and
working great. I can "tip" to each server and log in as if I were on
the console. However, I am unable to send a BREAK sequence to the
box. Why would I want to, you ask, well if the Sun receives a BREAK it
will go into PROM mode, allowing for a "SYNC", "REBOOT" etc..

My question is, did the Bug fix for the telnet BREAK filter out all
breaks being sent to the serial ports? Or do I need to do something
different.

Christopher

P.S. When I had 2 Suns back to back, I was able to send a BREAK in
tip and it would work...
