Serial tty issue with sparc & RH 6.2



I've recently loaded RHL 6.2 for sparc onto an Ultra 1E and am having a
tough time sending a CTRL-C type interrupt through a serial console (TTYA).
I've tried telix for DOS and Hyperterm for win32, but neither seems to send
an interrupt.  BTW, Telnet works just fine to send a CTRL-C.  I have no
head/keyboard and I am able to send a CTRL+END to issue a BREAK under both
terminal programs.  I've messed with stty a bit but was never really an
expert, so I have not gotten very far.

BTW, for those who are curious, as I was, linux seems to run pretty well on
a sparc! (not that I had any doubts, but it was a 386 project at first).

Have any of you run into this console issue?
