Package: telnet
Version: 0.17-36
Severity: minor

The telnet man page appears to list an incorrect escape character under the 
'unset' section.

" escape  This is the telnet escape character (initially “^[”) which causes 
entry into
                        telnet command mode (when connected to a remote system).
"

In the rest of the man page, the escape sequence is correctly identified as 
"^]", 
only under 'unset' is it listed wrong. 

Oddly enough, an old FreeBSD 4.11 system I have access to also has this same 
incorrect line. 
The man page with our Solaris boxes has what I believe to be the 'correct' "^]" 
listed.
