RFC # 702 BBN-TENEXA
September 25, 1974
SEPTEMBER, 1974, SURVEY OF NEW-PROTOCOL TELNET SERVERS
LAST MONTH'S SURVEY PRODUCED A GRATIFYING AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK CLARIFYING
THE STATUS OF SEVERAL SITES; HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN VERY FEW CHANGES IN
THE STATUS OF HOST SERVERS. THE CHANGES IN THIS MONTH'S LIST, IN
NUMERICAL ORDER (HOST NUMBER THROUGHOUT ARE OCTAL):
UCLA-NMC IS NO LONGER A SERVER;
HOST 205 IS NOW BBN-TENEXD, A NEW SYSTEM (BBNB) IS NOW HOST 61;
RAND-RCC WAS ACCIDENTALLY OMITTED FROM THE PREVIOUS LIST;
SDC-LAB HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY ELIMINATED FROM THE LIST UNTIL IT RETURNS
TO THE NET;
I4-TENEXA (117) IS NOT A SERVER--KI4B-TENEX (217) IS, AND HAS BEEN ADDED
TO THE LIST;
AMES-67 FIXED A BUG, REVEALING TO THE WORLD THE NEW-PROTOCOL SERVER (NO
OPTIONS) THAT WAS THERE ALL ALONG;
ISI-DEVTENEX (226) AND USC-ECL (327) HAVE BEEN ADDED.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN UPDATE OF THE SUMMARY AND TABULATION THAT APPEARED
LAST MONTH.* THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO TO 100% NEW-PROTOCOL
IMPLEMENTATION.
TOTAL SERVER HOSTS 34 100%
NO NEW-PROT SERVER 21 62%
TOTAL NEW-PROT IMPLEM. 13 38%
NEW-PROT ON SOCKET 27,
OLD ON SOCKET 1 (2) 6 18%
NEW-PROT ON 1 AND 27 (3) 6 18%
NEW-PROT ON 1 ONLY 1 3%
NOTES:
* ALL DATA IN THIS REPORT WERE GATHERED VIA A SURVEYING PROGRAM RUN AT
VARIOUS TIMES, PLUS A FEW MANUAL CHECKS TO FILL OUT THE DATA. WHAT
IS REPORTED HERE IS THE WAY THE VARIOUS SERVERS WORK AS SEEN BY THE
NEW-PROTOCOL USER TELNET AT BBNA, AS OF 23 SEPT. 1974.
(2) THESE ARE THE SITES WHOSE OPERATION IS 100% CORRECT ACCORDING TO ALL
PROTOCOL AND CONVENTIONS, AS I UNDERSTAND THEM.
(3) WE REALIZE THAT SOME OF THE SERVERS THAT APPEAR HERE AS NEW-PROTOCOL
SERVERS ON SOCKET 1 ARE ACTUALLY SERVERS WHICH ATTEMPT TO
COMMUNICATE WITH BOTH OLD- AND NEW-PROTOCOL USER TELNETS ACCORDING
TO WHAT CONTROL SEQUENCES ARE RECEIVED.

KEY TO SERVER STATUS TABLE:
X NO SERVER AT THIS SOCKET
I# OPTION # IMPLEMENTED INCOMING TO USER
(SERVER SAYS "WILL #")
O# OPTION # IMPLEMENTED OUTGOING FROM USER
(SERVER SAYS "DO #")
(# IS OPTION NUMBER IN NEW PROTOCOL. ALL OPTIONS
IMPLEMENTED BY ANYONE ARE:
0 TRANSMIT-BINARY
1 ECHO
3 SUPPRESS-GO-AHEAD
6 TIMING-MARK)
NOTE: * THERE APPEARS TO BE A MINOR BUG IN SU-AI'S SERVER: IT SEEMS TO
SEND AN IMPROPER RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR OPTION 0.
