Hi, Yep does that all the time the worst is on a traceroute where it seems you need to wait for the end of line to send the ctrl+shift+6. Workaround on cisco: Line con 0 Escape-character 3 Line vty 0 4 Escape-character 3 Whith this you can just CTRL+C Cheers, Michel Moriniaux -----Message d'origine----- De : Bruce Grobler [mailto:bruce@yoafrica.com] Envoyé : lundi 23 février 2009 09:22 À : nanog@nanog.org Objet : FW: Ctrl+Shift+6 then X Hi Guys, If anyone can tell me how to resolve this issue there's a strong possibility of a fedex'd beer. Using Putty or any other ssh/telnet terminal I find that Ctrl+Shift+6 then X (on a cisco) works only sometimes after beating your keyboard multiple times with a hammer, has anyone else come across or had a solution to this problem ?
