Article-I.D.: mcnc.1308 Posted: Wed Sep 15 10:06:28 1982 Received: Thu Sep 16 01:36:59 1982 References: decvax.286 After checking with some of the 'older timers' here, it turns out that 'two character widths at 110 baud' is indeed the original definition for break going back to the teletype days. It seems that that is still the only condition for which it is defined! Steve Taylor
