I just posted an inquiry about implementations sending other than "space parity" on Telnet. By this, I meant "cases where the normal Ascii data stream (not IAC, etc.) may have bit 8 set", i.e. which ptty drivers are *calculating* and sending parity. My motivation: In the PC/TCP Telnet (inherited from PC/IP), there are a number of places where the 8th bit is carefully masked off lest it make it to the display (and turn Ascii into a PC graphics character). I wish to know which implementations this defends against. jbvb@ai.ai.mit.edu James B. VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.

The SUN PC-NFS telnet, when emulating a vt-100, sends some non-zero parity, probably even. It also sends XON/XOFF (In the data packets. This IS running over an ethernet.) -Mike <mab@ads.arpa>
