Hi!
We have got a problem with AXPPCM V1.5 concerning transmitting a BREAK to
the VAXes.
Serverportsetup is OK.
$console connect node1 /break=ctrl_a
entering ctrl_a brings up the message
do you want to send a break signal ?
Nothing happens!
It doesn't depend on the chosen break combination!
There is no difference if I answer the question with Y or N!
The system I ran the test with is a VAX7700 with break enabled.
If there is no way to transmit a break the product is unusable
for the customer.
HAs anyone got an idea how to solve the problem?
thanks
Michael

In the first place, a VAX 7700 doesn;t use break as a halt sequence, it
uses ctrl-p!! Enter a ctrl-p , *MAKE SURE* that ctrl-p is *NOT* mapped
as the *break* key as you really need to send ctrl-p.

Hi!
Thanks. I don't know what was wrong with yesterdays test but it
worked today.
But I don't think its a good idea to define BREAK as CTRL_P
by DEFAULT
thanks

Michael,
I simply cannot agree with you strongly enough. The plan is/was to
use entirely different nomenclature. The proposal is to define the
"HALT key" instead of a "BREAK key" and to make it so that what the
key actually sends is user defineable. This would allow us to use say
ctrl-p as the halt key for *all* systems. On those systemsa that we
need to send ctrl-p to we'll set it up so it sends ctrl-p. For those
systems that need a break we'll set it up so it sends break. When you
type the key you would be prompted: "Do you really want to HALT the
system?".
Regs,
Dan
