E[SCAPE]

The SEND ESCAPE command sends the TELNET escape

 

character as a data character to the remote node. Normally, the

 

TELNET escape character is removed from any data sent to the

 

remote node. The SEND ESCAPE command is needed and

 

helpful when you do need to send the escape character as a data

 

character.

 

If the application program running on the remote system

 

requires you to input the current escape character, you can do

 

one of two things:

 

D Change the escape character for the duration of the

 

program with the ESCAPE command.

 

D Press the escape character to return to the TELNET

 

prompt (TELNET>), then use SEND ESCAPE to send the

 

escape character as input to the remote application

 

program. (See example below.)

IN[TERRUPT]

The SEND INTERRUPT command sends the interrupt

 

character as a data character to the remote node. Normally, the

 

interrupt character will suspend, interrupt, abort, or terminate

 

the remote process. The SEND INTERRUPT command is

 

needed and helpful when you do need to send the interrupt

 

character as a data character.

A[YT]

The SEND AYT command asks the remote node to return

 

evidence that the TELNET connection is still open. If the

 

connection is still open, the remote node returns an affirmative

 

response (e.g., terminal beep, yes, etc.). AYT stands for •Are

 

you there?"

B[REAK]

The SEND BREAK command invokes a break at the remote

 

node. This command is equivalent to pressing the

BREAK

key

 

at the remote node.

IP

The SEND IP command sends an interrupt to the remote

 

node. This command is equivalent to pressing the interrupt

 

character (

 

CONTROL

Y) at the remote node.

STATUS

Displays the current state of the TELNET connection.
