Hey, wait a minute! The telnet command came out of Berkeley with BSD 4.1c, the first release to have the socket syscalls. That's hardly ancient. It couldn't have been earlier than 1982-83 or so... (-: The Telnet _protocol_, on the other hand, is older. The first RFCs for Telnet were published in 1971. RFC 97 is not online (I guess it predated computers (-: ) but RFC 137 is, and it refers to documents earlier than RFC 97. It predates TCP/IP (1980) by a bit. So what happens when you fsck that floppy?
