<pre>NETWORK WORKING GROUP NIC 5776
Request for Comments #106 Thomas O'Sullivan
RDS
3 March 1971
<span class="h1">USER/SERVER SITE PROTOCOL</span>
<span class="h1">NETWORK HOST QUESTIONNAIRE</span>
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.

For TELNET Consideration
Installation __________________________ Prepared By _______________
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
Output_____Char
Remarks: ____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
=================
* 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.

<span class="grey">Network HOST Questionnaire (Continued)</span>
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.
Key Strokes Implementation System Action
CR __________________________ __________________
LF __________________________ __________________
NL __________________________ __________________
CR,LF __________________________ __________________
Terminal Type = __________________________
If appropriate, enter data for other terminal types on the
back of this page.
4.) What special character or characters are used in your
system to awaken some process during the entry of data
from a terminal (e.g. control C for some systems, break on
others, etc.)?

5.) List the types of keyboard terminals and codes supported
by your system.

6.) What internal code(s) is used in your system to represent
character sets? If not ASCII nor EBCDIC, attach a copy of
the code.
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
7.) For each terminal type do you support it in:
Half Duplex (Pure) _______________________________________
Half Duplex (with Break or Attention) ____________________
Half Duplex (Break & Reverse Break) ______________________
Full Duplex (without echo) _______________________________
Full Duplex (with echo) __________________________________
8.) For optional echo systems, at initial connect time
is the terminal assumed to require an echo?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

9.) Does your system perform error detection (e.g. parity
check) on terminal input and, if so, is this a hardware
or software check?
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
10.) Does your system support punched paper tape input? If so,
what sort of end of line sequence is used?
