I do not understand what the modem has to do with the ability or
inability to send a break.  A break, as its name implies, is a
long pulse (at least .25 seconds) on the data line.  It looks
the same as a momentary physical break in the line.

As long as your computer or terminal can generate a break
there shouldn't be any problem in it being passed through
the modem.

There is no such thing as a break character.  That, if it did
exist, would be a bit pattern to be transmitted just like 'a'
or '0' etc.
