For some time now we have been curious about what we think are called "telnet options". We are using NCSA Telnet 2.2 to talk to Xenix boxes with Excelan's LAN WorkPlace package. I've noticed that when running NCSA Telnet I often get "telnet option 254 1" type messages. Further investigation in the Excelan manuals reveals that there is a "telnet command" iac n1 n2 ... where n1, n2 specifiy the decimal number of the command. The manual gives the example iac 254 1 as being the equivalent of telnet's DONT ECHO command. Could someone please post a list of these such numbers and what they mean in telnetese? Thank you in advance. Adrienne Byrd Network Computer Centre, Telecom Australia, WA ACSNET: adrienne@telecomwa.oz Internet: adrienne%telecomwa.oz@uunet.uu.net
