I purchased a California Communications Corp. 2400 baud internal modem.
Overall, it works just fine under Unix, but I have yet to be able to
send a "break tone".  The problem appears to be that CCC didn't know how
to handle a break.  They claim the modem has a litteral serial port
on it so there should be no problems but...

CCC is willing to correct the problem but they need to know how to handle
the break.  After all, there is no such thing as a break character.  What
must they do to send a break and what do they do when a "break" is received?
How do external modems do this?

Many thanks.
