[net.micro.apple] Mac: 'C': How do you send a BREAK...

I have been working on a vt100/tek4010 emulator for the Mac using
Aztec C 68k. It is about 80% finished, and I will probably post the
tohexed source to the net. It is nothing super fancy, but has some
"features" I wish MacTerminal/Tekalike would have.

I have not received my "Inside Macintosh" yet and I would like to know
a couple simple things about the serial port.

	o  How do you send a BREAK.  Is there a poke() you can perform or
		do you have to time out 300ms with no start/stops bits.

	o  What are the hex masks for no/even/odd parity, 7/8 databits and
		1/1.5/2 stop bits.  I think I have figured it out with
		the old MacTEP source, but I would like to know for sure.

Thanks much..
