Just as a reminder, there is a way to turn it off which is documented
in the manual and in the BUGS.TXT file. The reason the method is not
called "SET TERMINAL TYPE-AUTONEGOTIATION OFF" is because the auto
negotiation is limited to "Telnet" protocol and therefore falls under
that command category.
The next versions of Kermit 95 and C-Kermit allow the user to
determine exactly how each of the Telnet Options is handled. For each
telopt there is a command:
SET TELOPT /CLIENT /SERVER <option>
{REFUSE, ACCEPT, REQUEST, REQUIRE}
[{REFUSE, ACCEPT, REQUEST, REQUIRE}]
which determines how the option is negotiated. As is true for the
current releases the SET TELNET command tree will still be used to
determine what parameters are used during the negotiation.
The Kermit Project understands that users need the ability to have
complete control over how features behave. In many cases, Kermit programs
have commands that allow Kermit to violate a standard simply so that it
might interoperate with other programs that violate the standard.
