[comp.dcom.telecom] How Do You Detect BREAK?

abcscnge@ucsd.edu (ScottPseudo-Hacker Neugroschl) (09/01/89)

I realize these are probably the wrong newsgroups, but I couldn't
really find anything appropriate.  Please don't flame.

I am working on an embedded system using MIL-STD-188C (RS-232C) with
RCA 1854 UARTs.  I need to figure out how to detect INCOMING BREAK.
The 1854 has a bit to send a break, I just need to find out how I can
detect the break.

If anyone knows about how to do it (on ANY chip, but the 1854 would
be best), could you tell me how?

Please respond via Email, as I don't read these newsgroups.

Thanks
