RE: Diabling Telnet Attention key

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I alerady have a telnet server exit program on the initialization point.
Once it runs and I pass the user on through,  they are now in the
standard software application (i..e, our programs).  Now that you have
given me the idea, I'm sure I can write such a program....but...I'm not
sure where you would put a "proxy" to capture the attention key. Without
modifying all the interactive programs. 

Suggestions?

Write a proxy that detects the keypress for the ATTN key and "eats" it
(does not pass it on to the telnet server)

If the telnet server never receives the key, it can't possibly act upon
it
