Suns do this.  They sense the terminal power off as a break.  One
previous ork place had a bunch of rack mounted suns, sharing a
serial console via a switch box.  There was a problem that sometimes
switching from one machine to another would cause a break.  Someone
wired it slightly different, and included a push button on the
switch box to send a break.
