I've run into the break problem in the past, however, a work around for that is to set your baud rate to 1200 and keep the space bar pressed to get it to repeat sending a bunch of spaces which simulates a break close enough that it fools the equipment. Then set back to your desired baud rate and see if it worked.  It may take a few times to get it right but it does work.

Hope it helps.
