Depends on the platform. If you have ioctl, it's something like:
int ioctl(fd, TCSBRK, int arg);

POSIX form should have a specific function, tcsendbreak:
int tcsendbreak(fd, int arg);

You'll have to check your library to see the specifics, but the ioctl form with 
and argument of 0 is usually 250-350ms.
tcsendbreak argument may be in units of 100ms, I don't recall for sure. But 
that's also OS dependent. OSX ignores the value and does 400ms. Everybody does 
their own thing :) 

If you are working on a micro, then it's going to be different. Depends on how 
serial support is implemented.  You just have to drive the output low long 
enough. It will be different if bit bang or UART, etc. As example, for AVR32, 
Atmel has specific break generation functions  in the USART library making it 
pretty simple.

yes, i´m reading it :)
only IAC BREAK is interesting, and IAC IAC (0xff character to serial), others 
isn´t
but... could owserver run only with 9600 bauds? it don´t need to change baud 
rate?
it only change baud rate for reset? when it need to reset?

how it send reset via serial?
put(fp,break_character); ????
or
ioctl(fp, BREAK); ???
i never sent a break via serial

Does it need to be that complex? Do you really need anything other than IAC 
BREAK? I don't believe so. Only if you wish to run the DS2480 at higher than 
9600 bps, which is optional. In fact, the data sheet shows that a number of 
functions are not supported at higher data rates anyway.

yeah
what i´m telling is....
udp with rfc2217
we can change baud rate via character 0xff (IAC)
and all others characters go via udp protocol :)
just change the owserver to open a udp instead of tcp
and it will never close connection, in other works, we will never know if other 
side is online, like a serial line... but we can´t know if host is up or not... 
(for me no problems)

After looking at this a little more closely, I don't think it will work. What I 
mentioned earlier is not enough to force a 'start polarity in place of the stop 
bit'. The UDP/serial converter is not going to be capable of changing it's 
character format so it will still be sending 8 bit data with a valid stop bit 
to the DS2480 no matter what we do. Apologies for the confusion, but I'll keep 
thinking about this. It would be nice to have a streamlined UDP solution.
