	Subject: Re:  Question about telnet RFC
	
	Seems clear enough to me.  You receive a request to enter a state or mode from
	the remote station.  If you are currently in the requested state or mode, do
	nothing.  If you are not in the requested state or mode, you MUST send a re-
	sponse eiher to accept the new state or mode or to refuse the change.
