There's some hacketry involved. I managed (although it was more a co-worker that did most of it :) to get it to work by assigning a TCP port number to a port and telnetting to that directly, and then use the "escape to telnet, type `send break'" trick. Ask on portmaster-us...@livingston.com, and before that read the archives at <URL:http://www.livingston.com/Tech/docs/>. (I'm sorry - I don't have the command sequence saved to set up a port that way. I hope I never lose that particular PM. :) -- Niels.
