Is it possible to get into telnet command mode without typing the telnet
escape character explicitly from the keyboard?  E.g., could I output 
the escape character from a program/shell script?  If yes, how?

Furthermore, can one escape into command mode and also send along a
string to be processed?  E.g., jump into command mode, do this, jump out.
If yes, how?

EMAIL will do.  Thanks.
