[comp.sys.atari.st] Which terminal emulator handles BREAK function?

glenn@ludwig.sharebase.com (Glenn Linderman) (04/19/91)

I want to use my Atari 1040 ST TOS 1.4 to connect to a remote SUN which is
set up using a terminal handler that doesn't recognize the modem's declaration
of the connect speed.  Hence, it is a requirement that the terminal emulator
that is used be capable of sending a BREAK function in order to tell the
remote SUN to switch speeds.

ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED, I require MONO monitor support, I have a hard disk,
I prefer a good PD emulator that already handles BREAK support for which
source is available for customization in C, ASM, or FORTH.

I am a programmer, so would also welcome suggestions as to how to program such
support into my own programs: I tried toggling the break bit in the UART, with
a variety of timing delays to adjust the length of the BREAK signal, but none
of them seemed to be very effective.  I used the XBIOS i/f to the UART chip--
must that be bypassed to get it right?  Sample code to do this properly would
be welcomed in C, ASM, or FORTH.

Thanks to all who respond.  EMail preferred.
