Has anyone implemented terminal type subnegotiation for telnet under 4.2? I'm especially interested in the server end, but I'd like to here about the client end too. How about for TOPS20? Drew -------

"Has anyone implemented terminal type subnegotiation for telnet under 4.2?" - Drew D. Perkins My additions to 4.2bsd client telnet to support 3270 emulation include a limited form of terminal type subnegotiation. Unfortunately, since only servers on IBM mainframes currently invite terminal type subnegotiation, my code takes that as a hint that it should reply with the name of some sort of 3270. If you are uninterested in IBM mainframes, you could change that code to return the value of $TERM. Paul G.
