RFC 112

User/Server Site Protocol Network HOST Questionnaire 💖

okay bestie, this is RFC 112 and it's giving "network history class" 🎀 It's from the Network Working Group 🦋 and it's by T. O'Sullivan at Raytheon Data Systems Company, NIC 5816. It's dated April 1, 1971. The original doesn't list a category or status, and it doesn't say it obsoletes or updates anything. It's a follow-up to RFC #106 and NIC Note 5776, so go read those too 🧚

Okay, so the main thing is that there's an attached summary of everyone's answers to the questionnaires above 💅 Tom says the terminal support questions were of interest to members of the User/Service Site Protocol Committee while they were thinking about TELNET 🔥

The summary shows some key differences between line-at-a-time and character-at-a-time (or both) when it comes to handling terminal support, especially with control characters 👑 ngl this is lowkey the good stuff, because it may prove useful as background info for TELNET implementers 🫶

If any site's answer got misread, Tom wants you to message him at the address below so he can update the chart 💌
