I have messed with this a bunch when I was bored, cascading through five
or six routers. You can get back from the sixth router to any other
router in the chain, without having to change the escape sequences on
any of the routers. Although it can be tedious if you're out that far...

Ctrl+shft 6 will take you all the way back to the terminal server, as
will any odd combination of 6's while holding down Ctrl+shft.
ie: Ctrl+shft 666 ,or Ctrl+shft 66666, or Ctrl+shft 6666666, etc. etc.

The even combinations will take you to intermediate routers along the
cascade:
Ctrl+shft 66 (or 666666 I think) will take you to Trm_Srv +1 router
Ctrl+shft 6666 (or 6666666666) will take you to Trm_srv +2 routers
Ctrl+shft 66666666 will take you to Trm_srv +3 routers, etc.

It is a strange kind of pattern, and I may not have it listed correctly
(It's been a while) but it does work, and is easier if you are only
cascaded out 3 or less hops.
