change baud rate to slowest supported like 110 baud
connect hit the space bar, change the baud rate back
to normal like 9600 baud, reconnect. this will cause a
framming error same as a break.
I'am using decserver 200 if you turn on the box with
the reset held down it resets to factory defaults.
Using a VXT also loaded from mop to connect to
decserver ports using Lat service set on the serial
ports.
