I doubt it's possible.  I had the same problem and found the following comment

        http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-12/msg00721.html

        Can you imagine the support headache this would provide? Think of all
        the people coming on IRC and asking and each one being told a different
        answer.
        ...
        I question the benifit of this.

I myself question this argumentation...

yes!

not really what you've asked for, but you can easily change the escape char 
for telnet! I'm using CTRL-\  (like good old kermit kermit;) with

        telnet -e "^\\" remotehost

or as permanent default

        echo 'DEFAULT set escape ^\\' > ~/.telnetrc

just make sure you disable the QUIT char in your terminal settings,
which pretty often is set to CTRL-\ too (check with "stty -a", using 

        stty quit ""
