I already said this once, but...

What Mark Callow is saying is true enough for an asynchronous (e.g. 103)
modem, but not for your average sychronous modem (e.g. 212).  A synchronous
modem receives characters asynchronously from the terminal/host, then
synchronously reserializes them for modulation purposes (PSK for 212).
A break is clearly a special case which must be explicitly considered by
the modem designer...
