You don't state if you've applied any patch(es) to 3.51.  If I don't
remember clearly anymore, I'm sure someone will correct me (many times
:-).

Anyways, stock 3.51 has a semi-broken serial driver which prevents
BREAKs from being correctly transmitted (i.e., at all).  While you're
probably doing everything correctly, the BREAK is just not going
anywhere.

The resolution to this is to obtain Fixdisk 1.0 from the hotline (also
affectionately known as 3.51a around here...)
