From: "Frank J. Wancho" <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA>
The RFC announced below discusses several approaches to reducing the
overhead required by character-at-a-time transmissions through the
Internet by taking advantage of the intelligence available in personal
computers. It also proposes yet another low level protocol which may
be of interest to the readers of these lists. --Frank

This RFC focuses discussion on the particular problems in the
ARPA-Internet of low speed network interconnection with personal
computers, and possible methods of solution. None of the proposed
solutions in this document are intended as standards for the
ARPA-Internet. Rather, it is hoped that a general consensus will
emerge as to the appropriate solution to the problems, leading
eventually to the adoption of standards. Distribution of this memo
is unlimited.
Public access files may be copied from the <RFC> directory at
