We've identified a resolution, and a root symptom, but NOT a root cause. The root symptom was that we could send-breaks all day long, until we typed any key. Then we could do nothing. It appears that Miniterm requires something coming back up the serial line (ie: the 'ok' prompt) to finish the send-break command. What will NOT work: Dell 8200, Linux 7.2, Miniterm 1.83.1, Serial cable, Ultra2 What WILL work Dell 8200, Linux 7.2, Telnet, Shiva Lanrover, Serial cable, Ultra2 Please note, the first setup that does NOT work with the Ultra2 DOES work with a Sparc 20. Notes along the way: Stop-N - resets to oem nvram Stop-D -send to display if nvram set to ttya (no time to test) ttyb - does not work, must use ttya The good news is, we have a way to connect, which was going to be the way to do this in the long run. We might spend some time-cycles on identify the root-cause of the non-responsiveness with miniterm, but not today... Thanks to all who replied, but it looks like we just had to throw enough hardware and variables at it until we got it to work. Thanks!
