This is of concern because power-cycling the terminal server which I
use for console sessions causes any connected systems to HALT.

Many devices will have the transmit data bounce around between mark and
space as it powers down. If one of the transitions is long enough
(what is it, more than 10 bit times?) it'll be seen as a break, and
a received break on a VAX console is interpreted the same as pressing the
HALT button.

I don't remember if this can be disabled in any of the VAX consoles.

I can disable it but I want it enabled because we are going to the
lights-out model.

So I'd like to fix the CRASH problem. Why is it the 80's always crash
with a HALT, CONTINUE but the 95's don't (so far, anyway)?

Thanks!
