SUMMARY: "spurious" break in ascii console (fwd)

Hi
	Thanks to

Davorin Bengez      
Julian Simpson     
Peter Stokes     
Will Parsons   
UnixAdmin     
and many others


Summary:
This is standard behavior. (Is not a bug, is a feature! :)

The best solution for me is uncomment this line in /etc/default/kbd
# Uncomment the following line to enable a non-BREAK alternate
# serial input device abort sequence:
KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate

and reboot

Only affects serial tty, not keyboard, no suitable if running ppp o slip

Now the abort sequence is 
<carriage><asciitilde><CTL-B>   ("<cr>~^b")

In Enterprise Server it's possible also to ignore breaks turning front key
to secure position.

In the FAQ is explained how to disable break.
