Re: Telnet question

        When you hit the ESC key, are you using PC5250?  In that case your 
     ESC key is the ATTN key.  If so then the first machine to intercept 
     the ATTN key is your local system.  If you look at the menu you get, 
     you should see the name of your local system in the upper right-hand 
     corner.  Choosing option 99 at this point ends your telnet session to 
     your 1st remote host.  I'm not sure if this will end all of your 
     downstream telnet sessions.  If you telnet back to your last remote 
     host, you might see an orphaned interactive job with your name on it.
        If you want to send an ATTN to the 2nd remote host, use option 5, 
     which should bring you back to your 1st remote host and its name will 
     be in upper right-hand corner of the menu.

Hi All,
     
 Today I encountered a peculiar situation. We have some AS boxes at our place
and some at different plants across US. We access the remote boxes by doing a 
Telnet. Today I did a Telnet to one of the boxes and worked. After sometime, I 
tried to access another AS remote box from this remote box. So I did a Telnet 
from the first remote box to second remote box. I got connected to the second 
one. After finishing my work on second box, I sign-off from second box, pressed 
Esc and ended Telnet session. But when I ended the Telnet session for the 
second remote box, I was expecting that I will be coming back to my first 
remote box. But instead I came back to my local box. I am confused. Can anyone 
explain me what exactly is going on when I ended the Telnet for second remote 
box and why I came back to my local box (when I pressed Esc, it has ended the 
Telnet session to both of my remote sites.!!) Thanx in advance for any help.
     
Regards,
Venu
