I realize this is a little late to get in MODEM715, but I am not
sure if this is a bug or not. I am now running 712, and
ocassionally need to use the ^@ key to send a break.
This is only needed on one system that answers with Bell 212
protocol but at 300 baud, so I have to send breaks to get
a baud-rate change.

Using a Hayes Smartmodem, which has lights to show when a 
character is sent, the light only flashes every SECOND time
^@ is pushed, implying that the break is only sent on
every second request. The problem is that the baud-rate
changer is so flaky I can't be sure if breaks are really going
out or not. 

Has anyone else seen something like this?
Does anyone ever send breaks?
