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. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Killian [page 2] + \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
