Default Re: Control-C, etc

I remember some of the early SUN servers where sending a _long-break_ from the console would drop things into single-user mode.

Cue a certain RS232 reverse-terminal-server being installed to allow a rack of Suns to be remotely consoled-to over TCP/IP from a single VT100-session on your laptop.

Alas, if you power-cycled this thing it sent a long-break.... to every connected device....
