PROBLEMThe announcement reports the specification of two new Telnet options concerning output line width and page size.

MECHANISMThe options are named Negotiate About Output Line Width (NAOL) and Negotiate About Output Page Size (NAOP).

THE ANNOUNCEMENTThe note identifies the NIC records for the options and credits the people who prepared and published them online.

§1Two Telnet Options

The RFC announces that two Telnet options have been specified: Negotiate About Output Line Width (NAOL), listed as NIC 20196, and Negotiate About Output Page Size (NAOP), listed as NIC 20197.

The announcement names two options, one for output line width and one for output page size. It points readers to the NIC records for their specifications.

§3Scope of This Note

This RFC is an announcement rather than the specifications themselves. It identifies the two option names and the NIC numbers associated with their documents.

Use this note to identify the two options and their records, not as a description of their operation.
