Status of this Memo

   This RFC proposes a new option for Telnet for the ARPA-Internet
   community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
   Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Overview

   This proposed option would allow a Server-Telnet to send a banner to
   a User-Telnet so that this banner would be displayed on the
   workstation screen independently of the application software running
   in the Server-Telnet.
