You state "Windows keyboard through a KVM switch" - are you saying you are on the actual switch to get console, or are you on a laptop, connected to the switch?

If you are on a laptop (or PC) and connected to the server via telnet (through whatever means) you could possible send a break via telnet - but first explain your set up before trying -

telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
...
on server console...
...
Control ] will bring you back to telnet prompt
help send will give you different options
send brk should send a break to the server (although the switch may pick it up - it matters what your set up is)

You also need to know if your server is allowing a break to be excepted - what OS/version is this (I'm assuming Solaris because of the Stop-A).

XkbGetGeometry(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						 XkbGetGeometry(3)

NAME

       XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetGeometry (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - xkb  keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded

DESCRIPTION

       You  can  load  a keyboard geometry as part of the keyboard description returned by XkbGetKeyboard.  However, if a keyboard description has
       been previously loaded, you can instead obtain the geometry by calling the XkbGetGeometry.  In this case, the geometry returned is the  one
       associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description.

       XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadImplementation
		      Invalid reply from server

       BadLength      The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments

       BadName	      A font or color of the specified name does not exist

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
