TELNET OPTIONS

The Telnet Protocol has a number of options that may be negotiated.
These options are listed here.  "Internet Official Protocol Standards"
(STD 1) provides more detailed information.

Telnet Authentication Types (Option 37)

In [RFC1416], a list of authentication types is introduced.  Additions
to the list are registerd by the IANA and documented here.

In [RFC 1411], on the KERBEROS_V4 Telnet Authentication type there are
a set of Suboption Commands.  Additions to the list are registerd by
the IANA and documented here.

Telnet Encryption Types (Option 38)

In the Telnet Encryption types [Borman] there have been various
implementations in several widely distributed versions of Telnet
(e.g., at MIT, Stanford, and Columbia).  Originally, only two
encryption types were specified.  Additional encryption types have
been defined and are listed below.  Additions to the list are
registerd by the IANA and documented here.

Type                               

   1	ENCTYPE_DES_CFP64                  [Ts'o]
   2	ENCTYPE_DES_OFP64 	           [Ts'o]
   3-7	Unassigned                         [IANA]
   8	ENCTYPE_CAST5_40_CFB64               [Wu]
   9    ENCTYPE_CAST5_40_OFB64               [Wu]
