      Steve Mosier claims that the "Anchor Mark XII 1200 baud modems are
incapable of sending a 'break'!"  I am a little suprised at this.  What
I would like to know is, What is there about these modems that prevents
them from being able to send a break?

      All answers are welcome.

I bought two Anchor Mark XII 1200 baud modems to check out and found
they are incapable of sending a 'break'!  A call to Anchor Automation
confirmed this.  Their response: "your the 1900th caller asking about
this.  We didn't include that capability in order to keep the costs
down."  If you can live without  being  able to send a break, its a
good modem for the money.
