Is applicable to environments in which a terminal population requires access to application packages running on a variety of computers. It may be used where the connection between the terminal and the computer that hosts the application package is local, is made across a Local or Wide Area Network, or is made across a concatenation of such networks. Contains the specification of the A-mode Generalized Telnet Application Profile. Virtual Terminal implementations that operate in accordance with this A-profile provide powerful general-purpose terminal capabilities which are suitable in particular for TELNET emulation. This A-profile specifies a mode of operation of, and a selection of options for use with, the A-mode generalized Telnet VTE-profile FVT115. Also specifies a Profile ICS proforma for the A-mode Generalized Telnet Application Profile specified herin in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in 9646-7.
