[comp.sys.cbm] Sending a BREAK out the modem

billa@cvedc.UUCP (04/17/87)

The situation:

I have a C64 at home with a 300/1200 baud modem and an XMODEM program
written in BASIC (ie, 300 baud) typed in from a recent issue of COMPUTE!.
I'd like to dial up my office system and use the XMODEM program I recently
got off of this newsgroup.  The problem is, the office system is set up
to answer at 1200 baud and switch to 300 (and back) with each receipt of
a BREAK, but I haven't discovered how to get the BREAK sent out!

The request:

I would like to hear from anyone who knows how I can send a break
out the modem from my C64.  Also, any help on how to get 1200 baud
from a BASIC program (I haven't got any tools for assembly lang.
or compiling  --  alms for the poor? ;-) would be appreciated.

Please mail directly to me rather than posting to the net.
I'll summarize if there are enough requests.

TIA.
