                 Tentative Schedule for the New
               TELNET Implementation for the TIP

Implementation of the New TELNET Protocol has now become the top

priority item on the TIP development queue. Because what is done in the TIP potentially affects what is done at a number of hosts, below we give the implementation schedule to which we hope to adhere.

- July 18, 1975 -- Done with the basic design.  A version of the TIP
  which has a general version of the option negotiator, but refuses
  all options, operational.

- Mid-September, 1975 -- Design of the options done.  A version of
  the TIP which includes any modifications that are necessary to
  support the options operational.

- Mid-November -- Operational version of the TIP with the basic set
  of options implemented (Binary Transmission, Echo, Suppress Go-
  Ahead, Timing Mark, RCTE).

- End of 1975 -- Any problems with hosts worked out, any necessary
  revisions done, and a solid version of the TIP up and running the
  TELNET Protocol with options.
