As much as I like that idea, I wondering -- if I am "telnet'ed" into
a serial multiplexor or even a linux box, will breaking into telnet
command mode and sending a 'telnet brk' get transmitted through the
current apps/hardware and be translated to a serial-break on the serial
line. That requires a leap of faith I wouldn't be be comfortable
making or is usage over telnet-serial "routing hardware" (i.e. Annex boxes),
"telnet'ing", "rsh'ed", "ssh'ed" to a system and "cu"ing to a serial port not
considered important?
