There already is such a thing -- it's called "BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER". You need to send a <break> indication down the serial line to the target machine. The ~# that you're probably sending to your solaris machines is actually getting translated by tip(1) into a break signal. Do a man on tip and look at kermit. Paul p.s. remember, break is NOT a character, even though we always call it one. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
