SUMMARY: HP 'web console' J3691A - Sun and 'send break'?

Yes, the J3691A will do a 'break', but also suffers from (possible) 
frequent lockups that require power cycles, and will also send enough 
garbage down the serial port to send a Sun to the ok prompt. Just about 
everyone said it's doable (and done), but it's always 'better' to use a 
'real' terminal console.

Thanks to Joe, Alex, Brett, Ron, Yura and Jason.
