    Hi John,

    It should be a "telnet>", but it's not there. It's no reponse, only a
    prompt. I find that Solaris use '^]', not as normal escapechar '^['. I want
    to know the root cause for this.

    Certainly I can use "exit". But some time, for example, I send one wrong
    passwd and I can't use "exit" to quit that telnet session.

    Thanks.

    Franklin
