  32. ---------
  33.     BREAK is a serial communications line term meaning an illegal
  34. character of a particular kind, used to signal the other end that attention
  35. is needed. A stylized BREAK is also provided in Telnet. BREAK can be used
  36. with some remote hosts, but not all, and not all communications equipment
  37. senses it. In short, it's normally not needed.
