[{"draft":"","doc_id":"RFC0946","title":" Telnet terminal location number option ","authors":["R. Nedved"],"format":["ASCII","HTML"],"page_count":"4","pub_status":"PROPOSED STANDARD","status":"PROPOSED STANDARD","source":"Legacy","abstract":" Many systems provide a mechanism for finding out where a user is logged in from usually including information about telephone extension and office occupants names. The information is useful for physically locating people and\/or calling them on the phone. In 1982 CMU designed and implemented a terminal location database and modified existing network software to handle a 64-bit number called the Terminal Location Number (or TTYLOC). It now seems appropriate to incorporate this mechanism into the TCP-based network protocol family. The mechanism is not viewed as a replacement for the Terminal Location Telnet Option (SEND-LOCATION) but as a shorthand mechansim for communicating terminal location information between hosts in a localized community. This RFC proposes a new option for Telnet for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
