The characters in the table cannot be defined as remote interrupt characters, because they have special terminal functions. Using one of these characters may cause communication problems with the remote node.

Do not define intr_char to be the same as the TELNET escape character. The TELNET escape character default is

CONTROL ] and can be redefined by the ESCAPE command.
