  15. I am researching the current applications for the "break" (continuous
  16. spacing) condition in start/stop (async) communications.
  17. Specifically, I am trying to determine the importance of supporting
  18. break (and preserving the length of the break) in various protocols
  19. that carry async data across different environments.
  20.  
  21. Do you use break?  What for?  How important is it to you? Do you know
  22. how long a break needs to be in your application for it to be
  23. recognized? Are there any alternatives to using break, such that if
  24. breaks were intercepted or not transferred, you could still make
  25. efficient use of the application?
  26.  
  27. If you would like to respond, please do so by mail directly to
  28. tnixon@hayes.com.  If anyone is interested in a summary of the
  29. responses, please let me know by mail.  Thanks very much in advance!
