Using telnet> send break on the Sun Fire[TM] platform does not always work.

There are a few reasons this may not work:

1. We may not be telneting directly to the SC. When you telnet to another system first then telnet from there to the SC (2 telnet sessions). The send break command stops at the first machine. To get around this you will have to perform the following steps from the telnet prompt:

telnet> send esc

telnet> send break

NOTE: If you have more than 2 telnet sessions you will need to use send esc for each additional session that is open for this to work.

2. Re-sizing a dtterm window sometimes breaks this "send break" functionality. Try one of the following:

• Open a new dtterm window and do not re-size the window
• Try a different emulator such as xterm. This is located under /usr/openwin/bin

3. When accessing the SC through a Terminal Server or different terminal software the break sequence may be different. You may want to try some of the break sequences below:
