Yeah... susp is pointing to ^Z and dsussp is pointing to ^Y. ^C IS
set to intr.... so it must be a problem with ncsa telnet ;-) And yes, I DO
get the "Suspended" message, when I do a ^C.

Using a terminal program on my Quadra's modem port to my NetBSD
box's printer port running getty with std.9600 vt100, the ^C works just
fine.
hobbes# telnet benden
Trying 207.96.8.112...
^C

Any ideas? How would one go about talking to ncsa about fixing
their telnet program? ;-) Actually, I have some other gripes about it as
well, namely the ugly ANSI colors in 2.7b4. Most of my terminal programs I
use have MUCH better ANSI color, among other things.
Thanks!
