FWIW Ive rarely had a problem breaking out of ping/traceroute/etc on a Cisco. I have found that Shift-Ctrl, then a very very small delay and 6 (while still holding down Shift-Ctrl) works like a charm every time. Maybe the terminals I use are just more friendly towards that sort of key sequence than others. :-) Though the only thing it doesnt seem to help with is when you have no DNS servers configured and mistype "configt", or some other command that doesnt exist and it tries to resolve it through broadcast several times. Ive found its futile to try and get out of that. Tom
Ye, exact same things happens for me, then after it decides to execute it you have a nice long line of 6x6x66x6x666x66666, tried the Ctrl+6 no such luck...

Bruce,
I have that problem using any terminal program (I use SecureCRT).. I have to bang the command like 10-20 times for the device to recognize it. Kind of wished CTRL-C or something worked better and actually worked well.

Hi Guys,
If anyone can tell me how to resolve this issue there's a strong
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
