We are installing several cisco terminal servers and were wondering what
other sites selected as their escape-character.  We are considering using
either the default CONTROL-^ or no escape-character.  Using the default
character allows you to use the special commands like Abort Output and
Are You There?.  If you use no escape-character you get the convenience
of just pressing the BREAK key, but then the special commands are not
available.  Are there other characters we should consider?  What character
do you use?  What are your experiences using the character your site
selected?

      Thank you for your time and help,
