It does send a true break signal. I'm using it with XP-SP2 and TeraTerm, physically connecting to a Sun Fire V240 console port and it does work. You get one yellow LED as feedback. When sending break it lights for one second. When the Sun spins the cursor you see the LED briefly flash, so it combines TX/RX feedback into one LED. For Linux use minicom for a VT emulator on a com port.






Works very reliably



I needed a short length of serial cable between a USB serial adapter and a null modem adapter. The two adapters had the correct male/female 9-pin connectors but only female connectors for the fastening pins. The serial cable had male fastening connectors on each end to connect everything together nice and tight.







Turns a USB port into a 9-pin high-speed serial port, no muss, no fuss. Drivers work fine, and Keyspan updates the drivers fairly quickly as OS updates cause problems, even when they discontinue a particular model and replace it with another - the old model still gets driver updates.
