The Sytek LocalNet 20 boxes at Waterloo uses <ESCAPE> <DEL> as
the default two character command to enter a modem control mode.
(This may have been set by the dept. that installs them).

As a user of vi(1) the double buffering of <ESCAPE> <char> is definitely
an annoyance. Usually you tend to hit <ESCAPE> twice to make sure it
has gotten through or that you are back to command mode. Fortunately
we can change it (as you can), and have done so on all terminals
that regularly talk to UN*X. I agree that it is difficult to
find a two character sequence that nobody else uses.
