Gentlemen:

I believe the initial query was how to stop output to the terminal given that
the terminal server interpreted a ^C as an IAC IP.  The fact of the matter is
that a request to interrupt a process at the remote station has little to do
with stopping or terminating the display of data at the local station.

The appropriate action is to enter the sequence, perhaps a ^O, that would be
interpreted by the terminal server as an IAC AO.  The IAC AO is a command to
the TELNET client and server to abort output which is the desired operation.
