+Request for Comments #106 Thomas O'Sullivan
+ RDS
+ 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?
+
+ Input______Char

+ * 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.

+ system to awaken some process during the entry of data
+ from a terminal (e.g. control C for some systems, break on
+ others, etc.)?
