@ is the DEFAULT setting for kill if you don't override it! That is
what the SVID specifies the default to be. That is what HP sets the
default to be. If you don't want kill to be @ then override it in your
.profile or /etc/profile, etc. to be whatever you want it to be.

"man termio" will tell you the same thing and that is available on your
system.

The serial number is found in one of two places, depending on how old
the unit is.

Most likely, nn the left side of the chassis is are the disk drive bays.
To the right of the middle drive bay should be a small pull out card -
the system product label (sometimes called a luggage tag). The serial
number should be on that card.

Otherwise it is on a label affixed on the right side on the chassis,
usually about half way back.
