~ is the default escape character (presumably inheirited from rsh, which inheirited it from cu, which predates ~ for the home directory). ~. is the shortand for end-session. It must occur at the beginning of a line. There are others, like ~, which is just sending a job control signal to your local ssh client. -- "That time in Seattle... was a nightmare.
