Can anyone tell me how I can escape back to local host >from "telnet" temporarily and how I can supply a login file for "telnet"? Assuming you are using telnet on unic, when you are logged on to the remote host, you can enter the escape ^] (thats control right bracket) , that should take you back to the telnet> prompt, which you can enter ^z to stop the job to return to the local machine. To get back, you type fg to bring the stopeed job back to the foreground, hit return and you should be back on the remote machine.
