[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] TN3270 and RFC 1041

jburt@anasaz.UUCP (John Burtchaell) (03/21/91)

RFC 1041 states that the 3270-regime command code is 29. We have found it
to be 24 (x'18'/ctrl-X).  Has anyone had a similar experience or any
comments/suggestions to offer? Thanx in advance.

RFC 1041 is correct; the problem is that it DOES NOT describe current TN3270
practice.  I would be very surprised if you actually found an implementation
of 1041 outside IBM.  See my posting of a few weeks ago for a description of
current TN3270 practice.  The 0x18 value you see is the Telnet Terminal Type
option, as widely used by both Ascii and 3270 Telnets...
