I'm not running a pre-ahpha at this time but I did check the whatsnew.txt and
can see this is *not* in A46 but rather has been added as development
continues with A47

 + Because allowing a CTRL+] escape character may interfere with transfers
   during a bridged connection (ie, a file may have the escape character in
   it which could end the session when it attempts to send over the bridge),
   all outbound telnet, rlogin, and SSH connections will require the /ESC
   option in the command data for the escape sequence to be active.

 pa> I run the StarWars ASCII Movie as a TELNET out; so I have a menu command:
 pa> 
 pa> IR, with DATA:'/addr=the.address' ... I changed that to
 pa> '/addr=the.address /ESC' but with the /ESC added, it won't even try the
 pa> telnet out. It just quickly fails - well I wouldn't even say fails,
 pa> because nothing happens. It's just like the user pressed enter. No
 pa> output from Mystic at all.

I have not played with this command but checking the wiki reveals it needs
/addr /user and /pass options to be included for it to work. Are you using
them all?
