Needless to say I misspoke (misemailed? misnewsgroup-posted?) and
meant the exact same type of a miniDIN8 you had trouble with and not a
9 pin connector. Be that as it may I have now tried a usb to 9 pin
serial converter connected to a cable with db9serial to db25 (no null
modem) with similar results. I can see what the output from the device
but I don't seem able to get a break key signal through. I have
concluded that there is either something odd with the way Mac OS X
treats the break, or that for some reason it is not being detected by
my Sun SparcStation 10. My next steps are to try with a PC, since I
can use any USB connection. I have seen some comments indicating some
people starting having trouble with kermit after the Mac OS X, 10.2.6
upgrade and that keyspan was going under, so the autoresponder to my
e-mailed support request will be all I'll ever hear from them anyhow.
So for the moment I will try to take that out of the equation.
