hi Marianne...

this is a well known 'gotcha' with sun hardware, powering off a terminal
actually sends a break signal to the serial port which is the equivalent
of pushing stop-a on the keyboard and the machine drops to the ok
prompt. therefore - always always unplug the serial line before powering
off the terminal.
