Wirt,
For those of us who are less knowledgeable in this subject, could you speak
briefly to what advantage you find in "Advanced Telnet" over NS/VT? From what
I've seen so far, "Advanced Telnet" seems to be starting at telnet and
asymptotically approaching NS/VT. Is the only gain in using it that you can
use the same code for non-3000 machines or is there some inherint ability it
has that NS/VT does not? How does it compare in terms of "number of packets
sent" and "number of bytes sent" with telnet and NS/VT?
Thanks,
Ted
