It is not possible to stop the program 'call' with a
control-c. This is a problem when 'call' gets stucked a
long time because a node does not answer. One
must then make a 'kill'.

    Programs like ssh, telnet, etc.. do also not react to this
    signal (with ^C you mean "intr"). This is because to let it
    go transparent to the remote site of the connection.
    This is also true for the Quit-Signal (for e.g. ^\).

    call does recognize the ~. sequence (also in -r mode), we
    know from ssh, mailx, etc..
    The only problem i see (if i've not overseen it) is, that
    you cannot switch off the interpretion of the tilde-commands.
