Where is the pointer to that web site?? I couldn't find it in the 
draft you attached to your original msg. Did you send it in some 
other msg??

Anyhow, I would guess that the EIA-232E standard document has the 
formal definition of a BREAK signal. However, I tried to find 
that document through the 'Net to no avail (the company who sells 
EIA standards -- Global Engineering Documents, 
at the Information 
Handling Services (IHS)
, http://global.ihs.com/ -- doesn't seem to 
have it in their EIA section ... :-/ ...).

I know this is not worth much, but I can assure you that the 
definition I provided earlier is correct. :)) That is: a serial 
BREAK is the assertion of the TxD signal to '0' (Space) for a 
period longer than a character time. 

Hope this helps!!

Later,
