Joe,

A properly closed tab, or complete program close will tear down the TCP
connection and free up the port. If you're somehow disconnected, you'll
either have to kill the session from the TS or wait for the TCP session to
timeout.

Hey guys,

I always did all my practice through a terminal server with a single window
and just did ctrl+shift+6 x to disconnect back to the TS and bounce between
sessions. Now that I have discovered tabbed PuTTY I am setting up my
connections to my terminal server port 2000 + line. My question is, is
there a break character to properly disconnect the telnet session, or can
you just disconnect it with no worries about hung lines?

For instance, if I telnet to 10.10.10.10:2001 from my PC it will connect me
directly to the console of my R1 in my home lab. Of course typing "exit" on
the console just logs you out of the console, but the telnet session is
still active. Is there break command or a way to end the telnet session to
the actual AS from the router you are connected to, or is the best option to
just close the session? Thanks
