Subject: 23.0.60; can't exit viper insert mode with ESC using emacsclient -t
Date: Fri,  3 Oct 2008 10:27:43 +0200 (CEST)

  I'm using viper mode (at expert level 5). I'm also using the Emacs
  server with emacsclients, sometimes creating new frames (emacsclient
  -c), sometimes on a console (emacsclient -t). Everything is fine
  working either in the main Emacs or in a framed emacsclient.

  However, in the console emacsclient I'm unable to exit insert mode
  using ESC. It does work fine exit insert mode using M-x
  viper-exit-insert-state (but as you can imagine it is quite
  annoying).

  The key different seems to be key binding, while in main Emacs and
  framed client "C-h k ESC" returns (viper-intercept-ESC-key), in
  console clients "C-h k ESC" hangs showing "ESC-" waiting for the
  next key in the binding.
