It has been suggeted to configure a telnet/sshd/rlogin kind of was to let people login to z/OS UNIX.
If you ever need to run an shell throught TSO - OMVS you can still send those "special characters" like ctrl-c, ctrl-z, etc to a running foregroung process. Here is how and why this is so "complicated": When logged in through TSO, you're logged in using "3270 data stream". This protocol does not know about the UNIX special keys like ctrl-c, etc. You simply can't type them (there was no CTRL key on real 3270 keyboards). The OMVS command processor "invented" a workaround: Send me the so called "escape character" followed by a single character and I'll convert these two characters into a single "UNIX control character" ans pass that one along to the shell. You define the "escape character" when staring the TSO OMVS command. The default is the character that will be shown as "cent sign" (x'4A') if your emulator is running with code page 037. (It is shown as "[" on my CP500 emulator session; it is shown as "Ä" in Germany/Austria with CP273). To send a ctrl-c, type ¢c (cent-c) and hit enter. Note, however, that this will send a "ctrl-c" followed by a "CR" to the shell. If you want to avoid the "CR", type ¢c¢ (append another escape character). This will send only the "ctrl-c".
