Help wanted for Kermit on Lisa Xenix

[Ken Yap]

A while back I asked if and how Kermit under Xenix could send out a
break signal. As far as I can tell, and no one has contradicted this,
Xenix ioctl(2) calls don't include the capability of sending breaks.
The general suggestion was to fake a break by setting the line to the
lowest possible speed, send out some nulls or dels, and hope the
machine at the other end will treat the framing errors resulting as a
break.

Unfortunately, I have to report that this didn't work with the machine
I had on the other end, a HP3000. C'est la vie. I think its ugly to use
out-of-band signals to interrupt programs, don't you?  (BTW, before
some HP wizard starts flaming me, I should mention that ctrl-Y works
for most programs, but not listf, the directory lister.)

Next question: do the HP wizards out there know if some control
character can be designated to interrupt all programs? The usual
e-mail and summarize offer, as always.
