Package: inetutils-telnet
Version: 2:1.6-3
Severity: important

Hi,

The escape character (CTRL+]) doesn't seem to work in inetutils-telnet. 
There's no way in exitting from telnet other then killing it (or killing
the server it connected to) from another console, see for example: 

        [7]/tmp> nc -l -p 8000 > /dev/null &
        [1] 29774
        [8]/tmp> inetutils-telnet localhost 8000
        Trying 127.0.0.1...
        Connected to localhost.
        Escape character is '^]'.
        ^]
        ^]
        ^C
        ^Z


The netkit's telnet works as expected:


        [9]/tmp> nc -l -p 8000 > /dev/null &
        [1] 29791
        [10]/tmp> telnet.netkit localhost 8000
        Trying 127.0.0.1...
        Connected to localhost.localdomain.
        Escape character is '^]'.
        ^]
        telnet.netkit> quit
        Connection closed.
        [1] + Stopped (tty input)  nc -l -p 8000 > /dev/null


Regards,
Robert
