264.0. "BREAK problem from MONITOR interface" by 54451::WILLEMSG () Wed May 18 1994 11:02

	Hi,

	OpenVms V6.0, PCM V1.1
	Is there a know problem with the BREAK send via the MONITOR ?
	I have the following configuration :
	PCM system 	 : VAXstation 4000-60
	Monitored system : VAX 6000-510(node name BRSSWS)

1)From the Monitor interface I did :
Command: break brssws
Do you want to transmit a break? [Y/N]
         ^
         |
	 this is the place of the cursor
	 And if I type Y I get again the Command: prompt

2)From the Connect interface I did :
CTRL/P
?0002 External halt (CTRL/P, break, or external halt)
    PC  = 806156DF
    PSL = 04C38201
    ISP = 8428B200

>>> C

	Thanks in advance.

	Rgds,

	Geert

Geert,

  The cursor positioning is a problem, we will have a look
  at it. Are you saying that sending break did not work?

  If so, I am not surprised as your point 2 suggests that a
  Control-P will halt this system, BREAK IS NOT THE SAME AS
  CONTROL-P.

  BREAK sends a break signal down the wire, Control-P sends
  the ascii code for Control-P.

Cheers,
Phil
