well "break" is used a couple of different ways, but they all come down to this, if the serial port does not transfer a character at the specified baud rate for the 8/7 bits of time it takes, then there is a break set in the serial driver(atleast if you are using u8250). So breaks are all to easy to send, just dont put anything out through the port for a given amount of time - 500 mSec is fine - so is 2 seconds. I like the book "C programmers guide to serial communications" of its 600+ pages it devotes about 2 pgs to break, which isn't indexed either. P L Faith
