It is not actually necessary to simulate the BREAK key to start a
session. In fact, you can just hit the Return key. That will wake up
the system and get you a prompt (usually a period, bracketed with
DC1's and DC3's and such). You can type any valid CP command to this
system prompt (for an unlogged-on person, that means either LOGON,
LOGOFF, or, at the system managers' option, MESSAGE). DIAL is not
available unless your system has linemode logical devices. Once you
have logged on, you can then issue commands whenever you have the
system prompt. If the mainframe has Kermit, then you can start Kermit
there and put it immediately into server mode, allowing you to escape
back to your local Kermit and do all your "talking" to that.
