Thus it was written in the epistle of Wirt Atmar,

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
