I am on a BSD 4.1 system and have a problem running 1200 baud from home.
New Jersey Bell insists on sending crackling noises to my phone which the 
modem apparently translates into <break>. This is obviously annoying as
it blows away long compiles, aborts letters and netnews, etc.

I tried to disable it by doing "stty intr u" which undefines the interrupt
character.  This does disable break (although it still echos as ^?) but
also disables "delete".  Thus, to get out of a stuck program, I have to
use ^\ which does an unwanted coredump.

There should be some way to turn off the break key without turning off
the intr function completely.  Any help/comments would be appreciated.
Once again, if anything profitable results from this inquiry, I will
post the results...
