I am playing with an OpenGear CN4148 consoel server. The sequence to send a BREAK is ~b My testing went thus: If I connect directly to a port (4002 say) then typing ~b sends a BREAK and the system halts (Sun). But it means I cannot use ~b in my unix commands to the host. (which means I can't run a program from bob's home directory for exammple!) If I connect through conserver where I have a break sequence defined to send a ~b then I can type the command with the ~b. BEAUTIFUL - but why does it work?

I have looked at the FAQ and tried everything in there. I have checked the physical connection and it's good. I can move the serial line to another console server and it works so that makes me think it's a software problem. This was working on this solaris server with these terminal servers until recently, I haven't changed anything hardware or software but now none of the lines are seen as up. I have turned on debugging in conserver but I don't get any information. Logging is giving me nothing. Any other ideas of what to try?
