[text] Updated by 435 Network Working Group Jon Postel Request for Comments 318 UCLANMC NIC 9348 April 3 1972 References REC 139 158 and NIC 7104 Telnet Protocol At the October 1971 Network Working Group Meeting I promised to promptly produce a document which clearly and succinctly specified and explained the Official Telnet Protocol. This document fails to meet any part of that promise. This document was not produced promptly. This document is neither clear nor succinct. There is NO 0fficial Telnet Protocol. The following pages present my understanding of the ad hoc Telnet protocol. There are some who have serious questions about this protocol. The proposed changes to the protocol are given in Section v Any comments should be promptly directed to me via the Network Information Center Ident JBP or by phone 213 8252368 or by mail.
