Is it possible to send Stop-A to a Sun Ultra 30 over a serial console? Unfortunately, the system that I'm connecting from runs Linux and therefor does not support `tip`. Hence, I am using Columbia's Kermit (`kermit`) to establish the connection. Everything works as expected from the boot banner to the console login, but I would like to be able to halt the system without booting the operating system first, so I need to figure out how to send such a command (Stop/L1-A). Thank you.

It depends a lot on your terminal package. Some key sequences to try

CONTROL-]

CONTROL-L

See if the online docs reference a "BREAK" signal.
