serial console questions

[Bryan Whitehead]

I have a serial console set up so I can capture output from boot and any sysrq activity.

The problem I have is I can't seem to do sysrq keys from the serial connection. The sysrq docs say I need to send a "break". Isn't that just a CTRL-C ? This doesn't work. I have to physically do all sysrq keying from the physical machine. This means my serial console is nothing more than a fancy logger. I'd like to interactivally send all the sysrq key sequences from my serial connection. I'm use tip as my serial software from a Sun box... is that the problem? I suspect my terminal is the problem...

How do I use sysrq over a serial console?
