1. The following example toggles between remote UNIX host biway
and the local OpenVMS system.
biway> <Ctrl/]> (characters not echoed)
TELNET> SHOW STATUS
Session 1 Active Host biway Port 23
Operating Mode: Character-at-a-time
Escape character: '^]'

2. In the next example, user BENTLEY, working at OpenVMS node
EAGLE, uses TELNET to do the following:
1. Establish a connection to UNIX host fern.
2. Return to the local TELNET prompt.
3. Display status.
4. Establish a connection to host gannet.
5. Return to the TELNET prompt.
6. Display status.
7. Connect to sands. But sands closes the connection because
BENTLEY incorrectly enters the password three times.
8. Try to resume the session with gannet. However, RESUME
without specifying a session number fails:
- With multiple sessions, RESUME's default is the
"active" session, the one with the most recently opened
connection.
- The host to which BENTLEY connected most recently is
sands. However, because BENTLEY incorrectly typed
the password during login, sands closed the TELNET
connection and displayed the following:
No current session.
- Because no connection is active (or current), BENTLEY
must specify a session number on the RESUME command
line.
