---------
BREAK is a serial communications line term meaning an illegal
character of a particular kind, used to signal the other end that attention
is needed. A stylized BREAK is also provided in Telnet. BREAK can be used
with some remote hosts, but not all, and not all communications equipment
senses it. In short, it's normally not needed.
