I think the other people explained it pretty well, but I will try to sum it
 up. (little long with the sample output, sorry)

1) figure out how your are connecting to the router.
ex) if you are reverse telneting into the router via 2511, then it is
console connection.
if you telnet into the router, then it is vty connection.

R1#sh user
    Line User Host(s) Idle Location
* 0 con 0 idle 00:00:00

R2#sh user
    Line User Host(s) Idle Location
* 2 vty 0 idle 00:00:00 172.16.20.1

2) find out the escape sequence of the corresponding port.
if you can't figure out what "escape-character #" suppose to be, use the
"show line xxx #"
The break sequence is same as the Escape sequence minus "x"

R1#sh line con 0
 Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns
Int
* 0 CTY - - - - - 3 0 0/0
-

Line 0, Location: "", Type: ""
Length: 24 lines, Width: 80 columns
Status: Ready, Active
Capabilities: none
Modem state: Ready
Special Chars: Escape Hold Stop Start Disconnect Activation
                ^^x none - - none
------------ omitted ----------------------

R2#sh line vty 0
   Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns
Int
* 2 VTY - - - - - 4 0 0/0
       -

Line 2, Location: "", Type: ""
Length: 24 lines, Width: 80 columns
Baud rate (TX/RX) is 9600/9600
Status: PSI Enabled, Ready, Active, No Exit Banner, Automore On
Capabilities: none
Modem state: Ready
Group codes: 0
Special Chars: Escape Hold Stop Start Disconnect Activation
                ^Px none - - none
------------ omitted ----------------------

3) the break sequence tend to work better with the console connection.
usually works at first try.
if you are telneting into the router, you have to hit the keys several
time. (delay)
i tend to hold down the keys or hit it until it stops.

R1#ping 2.2.2.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2.2.2.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
. <----- <ctrl + ^>
Success rate is 0 percent (0/1)

R2#ping 2.2.2.2

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2.2.2.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
.. <------ <ctrl + P>
Success rate is 0 percent (0/2)

Subject: changing break sequence

    Once I reverse telnet into a router, how do I change the break sequence
so if I do a traceroute I can break out? I've read the CD and have tried to
hold down the ctrl-shift 6 and choose another key, but I can't get it to
work. I know I'm not understanding the doc.
    If I start a trace and I hit ctrl-shift 6 X to break, it breaks my
reverse telnet session.
    Thanks!
