It is serial debugging, as described in the Developer's Handbook.
I have set up the same remote debugging environment in linux using gdb/ddd with success. Further, the "Interrupt" button in ddd is ^C, and in gdb ^C is what is used to break execution, at least in past experience in linux.
How would I send a "BREAK", and how would one setup ddd to use that instead of ^C? That should definitely be addressed in the developer's handbook if it is non-standard for FreeBSD.
Thanks, Mark

If you mean serial debugging, you use the serial BREAK, not ctrl-c.
If you are connecting using tip, you use ~# to send a break (man tip).
