- Comments on RFC #123
- --------------------
-
-
-
- The requirement that byte size 's' be 32-bits for
- the initial connection imposes some severe strains on some of
- the 36-bit machines. For example, in our PDP-10 (DMCG-
- ITS) NCP, we have at present no way of sending or receiving
- exactly 32-bits of data. Data is transmitted either in
- image mode (36-bit bytes) or in ASCII mode (8-bit characters
- with the 8th bit as zero). Perhaps we should permit the
- server to send more than 32-bits (say 72-bits) where the
- remaining bits could be NULL fillers. The byte size
- 's' for the connection may be fixed at 8-bits.
