TELECOM Digest Friday, August 23, 1985 6:55PM Volume 5, Issue 25 Date: Thu, 22 Aug 85 20:17:31 EDT From: Keith F. Lynch <KFL@MIT-MC.ARPA> Subject: Telenet service I don't know about this new service, but when I had occasion to use Telenet three years ago, I soon gave up in disgust. Not only did it not pass eight bit characters, it did not pass most control characters or any escape sequences. Also, CR and LF were handled in a strange way. And it paused between each line for longer than it took to send each line (this was at 1200 baud). Does anyone know if they have cleaned up their act? ...Keith ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Aug 85 20:20:18 EDT From: Keith F.

Who makes decisions about area codes since the breakup? ...Keith ------------------------------ Received: from MIT-MC.ARPA by MIT-XX via Chaosnet; 23 Aug 85 02:19-EDT Date: Fri, 23 Aug 85 02:19:25 EDT From: Stephen C.

Wilkes <wilkes at hopkins-eecs-bravo.ARPA> Message-ID: <[MIT-MC.ARPA].622216.850823.STEVEH> Good analysis, Rick. Does bring up an interesting thought, tho. Usually, there are trade-offs between vendors in a single market. Are there NAY pluses for Ma, except for the name? Also, that is an interesting answering machine.

If anyone received a copy would they please forward it back to me so we can maintain an archive? Anyone posting a message to TELECOM which they haven't seen yet, may assume that it was in issue 23, and resend it. --JSol ------- End of TELECOM Digest *********************
