  12. The TELNET protocol includes a Break command, which is IAC BRK (255 243);
  13. see p.12&14 of RFC 854.  Whether the Xyplex terminal server actually
  14. translates this to an RS-232 break I don't know.  Also, if xyp_ptyd is
  15. trying to provide a transparent pathway, it might double the IAC.
