Version: 19.3.10
The next version of MacWise 19.3.11 will have an option to use a new break option that should work with Sun Microsystem Unix servers.
Select 'Edit Break Signal' from the Edit Menu and click on 'Use Universal Serial Driver Break'
That new version should be available later this week.

Version: 10.7.22
Dear Developer,
Please fix MacWise to work for sending a break to Sun Microsystem Unix servers. This does work with Zterm. See the dev's notes.
-- OSX Notes --
Sending Break under OSX:
In 1.1b5 I have implemented the send break function. However, it appears some serial drivers do not implement the necessary control function for this to work. I have a workaround which might work. If you need the send break functionality, try it and see if the driver handles it correctly. If not, quit ZTerm, open up Terminal.app and type the command:
defaults write com.mac.dalverson.ZTerm breakSim '300'
Once this is set, instead of calling tcsendbreak, ZTerm will set the baud rate to the breakSim value, send a NUL, then restore the baud rate. The NUL at a lower speed should look like a break. The lowest value to use would be 50, which should cause a break signal of about 200 ms. I don't know what different drivers do with "non-standard" baud rates, so its probably best to use standard baud rate values.
