Clarification (not flame/etc): ^D doesn't (normally) cause rlogin to exit. ^D might happen to cause a program on the other end - a shell, perhaps :-) - to exit, terminating the connection (and therefore rlogin), but if you were in an interactive program, it would not work. One can use ^M~^Z (remember all tilde-cmds need to be right after a carriage return) to suspend a connection (given a shell with job control)... ^M~. to terminate a connection... ^M~~ to send ^M~, etc. These commands work on both cu and rlogin. Others are listed in the manual pages and are not necessarily available in both programs. In any case, it gets sorta interesting when you're about 8 levels deep in some muddle of telnet, tip, cu, kermit, rlogin, etc. and you wanna get to level 3. ;-) Merry Christmas, ...
