Real mode ISRs: specific keypress

Sorry for the noobish question, but when I'm in real mode, can I use an ISR to fire off whenever a specific key combo is pressed, eg. Ctrl+Escape?
Thanks,
Troy

Catch the keyboard interrupt and determine if your keystroke was invoked. If it was, proceed; otherwise, return.

Thanks, I tried to use the Ctrl+Break handler, and the jumping to another segment worked, but after that it would freeze up.
Now I'm racing against a spambot, those buggers are fast!
EDIT: Whoa, didn't see a mod in the list, they're evil and quick!!
