VMS Help TELNET, Qualifiers, /NOINTERACTIVE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Optional. Default: TELNET command mode.

    Disables the capability of using the escape character to leave
    a session and return to the TELNET prompt. This option is useful

    captive account.
