                          I have access to the system console of a KVM guest through VNC.  What key codes do I need to send for the magic sysrq sequence (Ctrl+Alt+"REISUB") in Linux?

Edit: In Linux under qemu, running showkey and the command sendkey alt-sysrq-h in the QEMU monitor reveals keycodes 99 (SysRq?), 56 (Alt), and 35 (H).  Using UltraVNC Viewer's Send Custom Key command, none of those numeric codes came out correctly when entered and viewed through showkey.
