Um, when you connect via telnet, the first thing it tells you is what char
to use to disconnect....

telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

The ^] is ctrl+] , and it's the magic character....it changes because you
can telnet out to yet another machine, so that machine will give you some
different character to use.....

isn't unix clever ;0
gsh
