   I have received several requests for these, so when things calm down here
a little I will post a message indicating that they% can be had be anonymous
ftp from iastate.edu (129.186.254.151) -- at the *very* worst it will be the
end of Feb. when "export release 1" of our project is to be made available.

   For those contemplating striking out on their own early, I used
two new "X" commands (wouldn't compatibility be nice?):

      XKAD xxxxxx CRLF       (the rcmd authenticator hexified)
      XKPW yyyyyy CRLF       (password as mk_priv hexified)

   Q: Is there a way to get a tgt without passing the password?  I am
      guessing there isn't.  I assume that this will be possible under
      V5 of the protocol?

   I am also working on passing similar data in a telnet option, I have
been using telnet option 40 (if this goes any further an official option
number should be requested/assigned).  Something like:

     telnet sends                              telnetd sends
     IAC WILL AUTH
                                               IAC DO AUTH
     IAC SB AUTH xxxxxx SPACE yyyyyy IAC SE

% I am still trying to determine if the Ultrix source is any different
  from the vanilla BSD source -- so you may get the whole thing or you may
  get diffs.
