[Sunhelp] stop A on non-Sun keyboard

[Jarrett Carver]

In a telnet session to a terminal server to send a break you need to do a 
ctrl-] to break out into your telnet prompt then

telnet> send break

If your terminal server is set up correctly this should work.

On a console server when you send the break, it takes the remote machine to
the "ok" prompt.  You still maintain connection to the remote host through
the console.  You can then issue the boot, go or probe-scsi etc...
