[Tom Jones]

Check out the man page on kbd, specifically on the keyboard abort sequence.
This may also be set in /etc/default/kbd

Subject: [Sunhelp] Send break from terminal servers


> Hi there,
>
> We have a few MicroAnnex XL terminal servers that we use to connect to our
> servers on ttya as console. We have discovered in the last week that if
> these terminal servers lose power they send a break to the console which
> causes the servers to go into bootprom mode, which as you know makes them
> invisible on the network. When the terminal servers are powered up again,
we
> have to go into each machine and type go to get to the login prompt. This
> will cause a problem on our production network especially if the terminal
> servers cannot be brought online again in a reasonable time. We would then
> have to go to each machine and plug in a terminal to type in the go
command.
