I know the Hyperterminal application found on Win2000 caused a break
when the application was closed. Teraterm worked fine on same PC:s.

Since 'break' is just a short pulse on the serial port, it can be caused
by a glitch when you remove/insert the cable as well as by the keyboard.

Found this link at sunhelp:

(set abort_enable=0 in /etc/system and use alternate break sequence.)

This used to work; though there are some odd cases where break is still
enabled, i.e. during reboot, since OBP still reacts to it.
