Hello ,

On Sun-4/280 with console on ttya a brk signal is used as an escape
character to PROM prompt . This is very inconvenient , because turning the
console off or disconnecting the RS232 wire brings the system down.

I tried to connect few pins on the RS232 cable but without success.  How
can i disable the brk signal (by software or hardware )?

Thanks in advance
Tom.
