MacKermit 0.98(62) includes "Send Break" and "Send Long Break" in the
Edit menu.

I got 0.98(62) from the LISTSERV@RICE.BITNET, which is a shadow of the
Info-Mac archives, so it should be available there (and other sites
too, I would guess). I've had no problems so far, but I think some
people have experienced difficulty with MacBinary transfers. As I
recall this was originally posted as a test version, so I don't know
how stable it is.
