FYI...

Some kernels can be configured to interpret an RS-232 break condition as a 
sysrq key. I don't remember the name of the pertinent configuration variable. 
Then all you have to do is figure out how to make your terminal emulation 
program generate a break and you can generate sysrq-c thru a serial port.
