Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

Telnet Communications Model and the Network Virtual Terminal (NVT)
(Page 3 of 4)

NVT ASCII Control Codes

Regular ASCII consists of 95 regular, “printable” characters (codes 32 through 126) and 33 control codes (0 through 31 and 127). The Telnet standard specifies that the output device must be able to handle all the printable characters, and it mandates how several of the other common ASCII control codes should be interpreted. Of these codes, three (0, 10 and 13) are required to be accepted by all Telnet software; five others are optional, but if supported, must be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Telnet specification. They are all described in Table 280.

LF

Line Feed

Moves the printer to the next line, keeping the print position the same.

Mandatory

11

VT

Vertical Tab

Moves the print line to the next vertical tab stop. As with the “HT” character, devices must use an option to come to an agreement on vertical tab stop positions.

Optional
