Answer: To end your current telnet session you must reach the telnet prompt and type quit.
Here are the steps for doing so:
- Open the telnet prompt by holding down the 'Ctrl' key and push the ']' key. (prompt: Microsoft Telnet>)
- Type quit.
- Push the 'Enter' key.
You can change this default telnet prompt key by starting telnet like this:telnet –e p 192.168.1.81(this will change the telnet prompt key to lowercase 'p')
