Same here.  Never did get it to work.  It's been awhile, but I seem
to remember that successive BREAK commands would cycle up through
the baud rates, but as soon as it got to 9600 (or was it 19200?)
it would stick.  Personally, I think it's a problem with the Systeks.

If you're trying to interface your tty lines to Telebits, try locking
the interface speed at 9600 (if data integrity is a must) or 19200
(if you don't mind a few dropped characters).

Since posting, I've recieved a note from a person at Sequent and have talked
to them on the phone.  It appears this is a known bug, but get this -
THERE'S A KNOWN FIX!  I know, I know, no big deal to many of you, but with
the frustrations those of us in multi-vendor sites often experience, its
really nice to come across this occasionally.  Anyhow, there's a fix tape
on the way.

As an nice side note, while discussing the problem with the person from 
Sequent, we were able to also bring up and handle a few other issues that
I wasn't real sure about in their implementation.  In the whole discussion,
I never got the feeling that the person was trying to just shunt me off and
move on, but instead felt that the issue to me and to them was to get the
problems resolved.  Nice to run into.
