- 3 March 1971
-
- USER/SERVER SITE PROTOCOL
- NETWORK HOST QUESTIONNAIRE
-
-
-
- The answer to a number of questions about the characteristics
- and operation of Network HOSTS will be useful to implementers of some
- early versions of TELNET, and/or to the USER/SERVER SITE PROTOCOL
- Committee in their consideration of a full TELNET PROTOCOL
- specification.
-
-
- Questions of current interest are covered on the attached
- questionnaire. The Technical Liaison contact at each HOST site is asked
- to review these questions and fill in the answers as soon as convenient
- after receipt.
-
-
- One of the members of the committee listed below will contact
- each HOST site by telephone in the next few days to record the answers.
-
- Committee members include:
-
- Bob Long SDC
-
- John Melvin SRI/ARC
-
- Ed Meyer MIT/MAC
-
- Tom O'Sullivan RDS
-
-
- Results of the questionnaire will be tabulated and distributed
- as an RFC.

- System** _____________________________ Date _____________________
-
- 1.) Does system operate on keyboard terminal input on one
- character at a time (e.g. searching for a special
- character other than end of line), or does it accumulate
- a line at a time and operate on the line when a
- special character is entered, e.g. Carriage Return (CR)?
-
- [ ] Line at time
-
- [ ] Character at time
-
- [ ] Both (Explain) __________________________________

- 2.) What maximum buffer size does your system provide for
- input of a physical line from a keyboard terminal, and
- for output to a terminal, printer, or screen?

- * If there is insufficient space on the questionnaire, continue
- answers on back of page.
-
- ** Fill out separate questionnaire for each HOST to be directly
- interfaced to an IMP.

- 3.) Describe the effect in your system of use of the following
- keying conventions. Indicate how implemented, i.e. is there
- a hardware interrupt? Does the terminal respond? How?
- What is sent into system as data, what is echoed, etc.
- If the key(s) are not available, so indicate (as may be
- the case for Newline for some systems, line feed for 2741's,
- etc.). If available but has no meaning, so indicate.
