People who assign functionality to the BREAK key deserve all the headaches they will get. Don't forget that the BREAK key doesn't just send another arcane character from the ANSII character set: it generates what is in essence a hardware hiccup (simulates the effect of a gopher chewing through your cable) which you can only hope will be meaningfully detected and handled by BOTH the hardware and the software at the other end of the line.
