did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?

i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too

@rebane2001 It's actually the escapes that `cu` (part of the UUCP suite) implemented.
@stuartl
which may be the same as those of rsh (remote shell) which is the thing that ssh replaces.
@rebane2001

@rhialto @rebane2001 Could be, `cu` and `rsh` came out at the same time.

`tip` also has similar escapes, and it appeared in 4.2BSD (1983).
