Lines: 8 I appreciate your detailed description of output buffer flushing in telnet. I'd like to point out to other readers that your work apparently did not involve any extensions to the protocols. I feel it necessary to make this comment because the last few days have been filled with various proposals for inventing new mechanisms to do something for which there is an existing one. So we need to make it clear to people that your posting is not another such proposal: it describes correct implementation of the existing telnet sync mechanism.
