Console Tips
Sometimes after cat-ing a binary file, my terminal goes a-wall and all i see are a bunch of liner characters. I found http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html that provides alot of useful info. The solution to my specific problem is:
% cat
^O
^D
Using ctrl-N instead of ctrl-O switches to line mode. Spsedly ESC-C is a general term reset. I havent been in a situation where this has worked for me.

I just always use the “reset” command. See “man reset”.
