This document describes the interface to the Telnet server on IBM's
iSeries line of midrange business computers.  This interface allows
Telnet clients to request a Telnet terminal or printer session using
specific session attributes related to device names, encryption,
language support, auto-sign-on, response codes, session association, etc.

These support functions are implemented primarily using the Telnet
Environment option negotiation RFC 1572 to define new USERVAR
variables that will be recognized by iSeries Telnet server.  This memo
provides information for the Internet community.
