RFC 929 December 1984
Proposed Host-Front End Protocol
inserted in the data stream following the
particular format character being
subnegotiated.
251 The Host suggests that the remote end handle
the character disposition considerations, but
recommends that it replace the character with
some simplified character similar to but not
identical with it (e.g., replace a tab with a
space, or a formfeed with a newline).
252 The Host suggests that the remote end handle
the character disposition considerations, but
recommends that it discard the character.
253 The Host suggests that the remote end handle
the character disposition, but recommends that
the effect of the character be simulated using
other characters such as spaces or linefeeds.
254 The Host suggests that the remote end handle
the character disposition considerations, but
recommends that it wait for additional data
before sending more data.
255 The Host suggests that the remote end handle
the tabstop considerations, and suggests
nothing about what the value should be.
Some of the codes between 251 and 254 are not used with some
character disposition options. Refer to the ARPANET
documentation for additional details.
If the Condition command is issued by the OPE, then the
roles of the Host and the remote end are reversed.
2.3.5.1. RCTE Option
The Remote Controlled Transmission and Echoing option
requires parameters to indicate the sets of break
characters and transmit characters. There are two
option-idiosyncratic parameters for RCTE. The first is a
list of the character classes that make up the set of
break characters, as defined in the RCTE documentation.
The second is a list of character classes that make up
the set of transmit characters, as defined in the RCTE
documentation. Since the two classes are optional and
