    Gentlepeople,

    i'm using net::telnet to connect to a remote script (rather than a
    login). the script internally uses "^]" to step back through itself,
    conflicting with the default escape telnet character. this wouldn't be
    a problem per se except that the login to the system uses securid
    (requiring manual login each time), and once i connect i need to step
    through verifying several hundred auxiliary systems; being forced to
    manually login for each new test would negate the benefits of a script.

    i had the idea of, once connecting, dropping back to telnet and doing a
    "set escape ^[" but then realized net::telnet may not drop back to a
    telnet prompt as the telnet command would (no i haven't verified this
    for sure yet because i had my "epiphany" just as i was leaving work for
    the day, and i've been forced to take the rest of the week off for
    personal reasons).

    question: what is one/the way to redefine the net::telnet escape
    character from ^] to another ^[ (or anything else?)

    tia,
    joe
