IIRC, the terminal does not explicitly send a break on power-off
but it's rather either hazards on the line when the power goes away
or generally the drop of power that is, from the vax side,
indistinguishable from a break signal.  Is there a way to make a
VAXstation ignore a break signal on the serial console?  Like some
firmware setting?  I think I remember having seen this mentioned
somewhere but really don't know any details.  I would most certainly
be interested in a solution to this problem (especially for the
VS3100 series.)
