+RFC 779 April 1981
+TELNET SEND-LOCATION Option
+
+
+
+4. Motivation for the option.
+
+ Many network sites now provide a listing of the users currently
+ logged in giving their names and locations (see the NAME/FINGER
+ protocol, RFC 742). The location is useful for physically locating
+ the user if he or she is nearby, or for calling them (a nearby phone
+ number is often included). However, for users logged in via the
+ network, the location printed is often no more than the originating
+ site name. This TELNET option allows the user's TELNET program to
+ send the user's location to the server TELNET so that it can be
+ displayed in addition to the site name. This functionality is
+ already present in the SUPDUP protocol (RFC 734).
+
+5. Description of the option.
+
+ When the user TELNET program knows the user's location, it should
+ offer to transmit this information to the server TELNET by sending
+ IAC WILL SEND-LOCATION. If the server's system is able to make use
+ of this information (as can the ITS sites), then the server will
+ reply with IAC DO SEND-LOCATION. The user TELNET is then free to
+ send the location in a subnegotiation at any time.
