I'm using a laptop running hyperterminal as the console for an Ultra10.
Does anyone know what key strokes emulate <STOP>A ?

Regards Paul.

You need to send a break. It's not a special key; it's a special
RS-232 signalling thing. Some terminals have a break key to send this
special signal. Terminal emulators (like HyperTerminal) probably have
a menu option to "send break" or something similar.

Hyperterminal on Win95 reportedly sends a break with <cntl>-<break>. It
reportedly cannot do it at all under NT.

You might want to grab a copy of Kermit or TeraTerm. Both can send a
break easily.

Pressing the CTRL and ] keys at the same tyme, followed by typing "send
brk" works under some terminals. YMMV

I'm afraid that's a telnet client and terminal server thing,
rather than a terminal thing.

I found that "shift+break" worked for me under W2k. On my keyboard, break key
is same as pause key, just to the right of print screen and scroll lock.

To do a Solaris stop-A from green screen or dumb terminal use:

<CR> <CR> ~ <CTRL> <SHFT> X

The X is uppercase because you are holding down the <SHFT> .... all keys
must be pushed in less than 2 seconds.
