Connecting with telnet looks like this:
$ telnet some.host
Trying 10.1.2.3...
Connected to some.host.
Escape character is '^]'.
I'm running this on the OS X Leopard terminal. Question is, how do I send this escape character? On a Linux terminal I'd try ESC–5 or CTRL–5, but I cannot figure out how to do this on OS X.

The
^]means ctrl + right bracket. As strange as that is, it works. You'll be taken to the telnet prompt, where you can typequit.On international keyboards the ] character is often not a single key, and needs to be replaced with some other key. The correct key is typically the key to the right of P or the next key after that.
