[net.info-terms] Survey: Terminal answerback/identify codes

gam@proper.UUCP (Gordon Moffett) (12/24/83)

If you can send a character sequence to your terminal and have your
terminal send back what kind of terminal it is, I would like to know:
	o The terminal model
	o What the code sequence sent is
	o What it sends back
This is referred to as an `answerback' or `identify' code in your
terminal user manuals.

Please mail your info to me, using termcap(5) conventions (ie, ^A = control-A,
\E = escape (ascii 033), \r = return, \nnn = ascii 0nnn).

EXAMPLE
	for the Hewlett-Packard 2621a, it is \E*s1^, and sends back '2621A'

Thank you!
