Lines: 8 It certainly seems reasonable to use a special function key or a two-key sequence to generate telnet IP and do the timing mark dance, as you have suggested. That way, you haven't preempted ^C, and it can be used in Emacs and other programs as normal. However at least in BSD Unix, the telnet interrupt option may not always work. It simply stuffs a ^C into the terminal input. If you're in a raw-mode program, this may well not have the desired effect. However it's still a sufficiently useful thing that it makes sense to implement.
