This is RFC discusses an implementation approach to option negotiation
in the Telnet protocol (RFC 854).  It does not propose any changes to
the TELNET protocol.  Rather, it discusses the implementation of the
protocol of one feature, only.  This is not a protocol specification.
This is an experimental method of implementing a protocol.  This memo
is not a recommendation of the Telnet Working Group of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF).  This RFC is Copyright 1990, Daniel J.
Bernstein.  However, distribution of this memo in original form is
