Thanks for the comments, Ian and Colin.

It's very true that this will disable the escape mechanism (it can also be
done using "esc off" command).
However, all this appears to do is to prevent the escape character (e.g.
ctrl-T) from disconnecting the forwarding session. Whilst this is necessary
for compressed forwarding, it is not a complete solution.
As far as I know, telnet does have a "BINARY" mode which can be invoked
manually. Does this allow telnet to be completely transparent? If so,
perhaps the answer is to make the node invoke telnet in this way, if a
specific command is sent to the node. Alternatively, make it always behave
like this if the escape character has been disabled. I can't think of a
reason why you would want to disable the escape character and NOT want the
connection to be transparent.
Anyway... over to the experts ;-)
Regards
Roger
