Library /sys$common/syshlp/tcpip$telnet_help.hlb ENABLE, LOCAL_CHARS  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Enables the translation of the following terminal control
    characters in to TELNET protocol sequences:

    o  Interrupt

    o  Flush Output

    o  Are You There

    o  Kill

    o  Erase

    o  Quit

    With local characters:

    o  Enabled - The local host sends the control characters (listed
       above) translated in to TELNET sequences. For example, Ctrl/T
       becomes IAC AYT.

       Enabled mode is appropriate when the remote and local hosts
       implement different control characters. The remote host does
       not recognize certain control characters. Therefore, the local
       host interprets these control characters before sending them
       to the remote host.

    o  Disabled - The local host sends these control characters
       uninterpreted. They are interpreted by the remote host.

       Before you communicate in disabled mode, ensure that the
       remote and local hosts use the same control characters.

    Default: DISABLE LOCAL_CHARS.
