kdb uses BREAK in the serial port (that minicom uses C-a for sending a
break is an anecdote :) But the problem at hang is the console. I
vote for the ^X^X^X as I a think that it is not a difficult shortcut.
(and yes, I also use emacs and ^X^X all the time, but I think that
this combination is not specially bad, and I suppose that the pet
aplication of other people will have problems with something like:
^A^A^A that I never use).
Later, Juan.
