Yes, ^^b does break out a tty port. That is "control-^ b"
or "control-shift-6 b" or however you make the notation.
www.r1r2.com has a fair explanation of it since they use
the break to power cycle their lab routers over the internet.
They also tell how to pass an escape to the second or third
router and other stuff (like free use of their routers).
Try this: do an escape (control-shift-^) and then type a
question mark, e.g. "^^?" or control-shift-6, the ?. See
what you get.
One thing is for sure, the way to represent escape sequences
is not real good. I like the way cisco does it, ^^x, ^^c,
^^b, etc.
