However, implementation is often OS-dependent and ratty. Whatever you use, make sure its not ^D,^Q,^S, or ~Z. I am not really sure that ^C would not also cause problems, because of its use as an abort character. In particular, control signals are often associated with DCE/DTE point-to-point signalling, and not end-to-end. You might send a ^C, but how that propogates to the other end is anyone's business. So a vacant tty control character like ^L might be useful. I'd love to hear the results of anyone testing this with XML over PPP. Rick Jelliffe xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
