ssh

[Chris Seberino]

Hello! I would really appreciate any hints
to a little puzzle that has been gnawing at me
about remote sessions with ssh... 
(and likely all connectivity programs...)

Because network connections can only talk in
ASCII, there is no way to tell the difference
between TAB and "Ctrl-i" (i.e. pressing Ctrl and i keys
together).  BOTH are transmitted as same ASCII
code.  Likewise, Ctrl-m and RETURN key both
are transmitted as the same ASCII character
by ssh and every other network connection 
probably.

Is there ANY way to tweak ssh program or something
else so that something DIFFERENT is sent
to distinguish between Ctrl-i and TAB and 
to distinguish between Ctrl-m and RETURN?????

It would REALLY make my day.

Sincerely,

Chris
