Hello to you all I/O gurus, we'd like to submit an interesting analyse/design problem concerning echo on Telnet protocol via gateways; In heterogeneous environments (Un*x and non-Un*x) there are 2 places where to perform the echo function for the Un*x EndUser: either in the Un*x machine (via line discipline (?) or the local Telnet) or in the Telnet agent in the gateway function. Questions: - Are all the Un*x machines able to locally echo to the terminal (via Telnet) ? - Is there a risk of mixing write data (from the host side) with echo of user data ? Thanx in advance for any of your comments/suggestions. -- Steve Whitney "It's never _really_ the last minute" (())_-_(()) UCLA Comp. Sci. Grad.
