When an interrupt signal is generated on our SCO machines
(3.2V4.2), MS-Kermit (3.13, patch about 13, but there are no
obvious fixes listed up to patch 20**) displays an "r".  NCSA
Telnet handles this correctly, and examining the event trace
shows that a Telnet Data Mark signal is being sent.

This happens for both Telnet interrupts, and interrupts generated
by sending the stty interrupt character.

This is really only a cosmetic problem, and normally results from
being too lazy to change the interrupt character or remap the
backspace key before talking to the machine in question.  It
doesn't happen for SunOS 4.1.1.

** the patch level 20 file is at home, not in the office.
