I believe that control-@ (which is control-shift-2) will generate the BREAK
character.  At least that used to do the trick on other UNICES I've used.
I have to admit that I've tried it with modems in the same situation
without luck, but I think there were many other problems at the time.
Give it a try, at least.  Only takes two fingers :-)
