How would I disable telnet escape character ? Sometimes in the middle of uucico (transfer files/mails) I got telnet prompt again. (PS: we use ^^ (ctrl-^) as the default escape character).

Well, you can redefine the escape character to whater control sequence you want. Try (from within telnet) 'set escape ^*' where the * is whatever character you would like. I hope this will fix some of your problems! >Thanks No problem. I hope it works. john -- | John R.

Or translate the escape character to something else. You'll probably have to stick telnet under pty to do this: tr '^]' '^X' | pty telnet ... Even better, double the escape character, so that it comes through correctly on the other side. (Design flaw: there's no way to do this without getting a telnet> in the middle of your output. Implementation flaw: telnet has some race conditions, so don't feed it escape characters too quickly.) ---Dan
