I had the same problem with kermit; the esc char by default is control \
I solved this by putting the following lines in .kermrc

set modem hayes
set line /dev/cua
set speed 1200
set baud 1200
set esc 9

This last line sets the esc char to be control-I which == 9
(control-a is 1 control-b is 2 etc).

Of course if you're not asking about kermit then this is useless :)
