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.

p.s. remember, break is NOT a character, even though we always call it
	one.
