  Does anybody know how to get the Rs232 port to produce a break signal?
I have heard that there is some escape sequence (using the VT52 emulator)
that will do it, but I don't believe it is documented (if it actually
exist).  Are there any other methods.  (I am using OSS Pascal, but am
fluent in C). 

   Many thanks in advance.
