- I'm wondering what the minimum required set of telnet options the server side
- of a telnet connection (the telnetd) is? That is, what options is it required
- to respond to, and how should it respond to requests for negotiation on the
- options it declines to support?
-
- I'm asking because I have an application into which I may want to try to
- include some very primitive telnetd capabilities, so that I can negotiate to
- turn off echo, turn on character at a time mode, and get the terminal type of
- the connecting client. Would it be sufficient to just properly negotiate
- these options at the start and then refuse ANY negotiation after that time?
