RFC 587

Announcing New Telnet Options 💖

okay so this RFC is from November 1973 🌸, written by Jon Postel at MITRE 💅. It's an announcement, not a big spec, and the header doesn't list anything it obsoletes or updates, so it's a clean little standalone drop ✨. The header also doesn't give a category or status.

Anyway, the whole point is to announce that two new TELNET options have been specified 🎀. Here they are:

• Negotiate About Output Line Width (NAOL), NIC#20196 📏
• Negotiate About Output Page Size (NAOP), NIC#20197 📄

These were prepared by Dave Walden (BBN-NET) 🧚, and then put online by Anita Coley (UCLA-NMC) and Dave Crocker (UCLA-NMC) 🫶. Iconic team, no notes 👑.

[ This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry ] [ into the online RFC archives by Rich Bowen 11/97. ] 🦋

That's the whole thing!! 🌈 Two new options, a couple of cute names, and a very clear "here they are." 😭💜
