I had never seen this particular RFC before today. If you haven't
either, I suggest you take a look. I believe lots of places
have RFCs available for ftp---if you can't find one, they're
available for anon ftp on black.ox.ac.uk (129.67.1.165) in /RFC.
Wouldn't it be wonderful publicity if someone hacked up
telnetd so that we could claim `Linux is RFC1097 compliant'?
I wonder how many commercial telnet daemons implement this... :-)
