00100 NETGRF is an experimental TELNET/NGP server. It will support several
00110 users (as opposed to regular server, which uses one job slot per
00120 user), and handles a subset of Sproull's NGP (Network Graphics
00130 Protocol). One uses it in the same way as the ordinary TELNET
00140 server, except that socket 197 (305 octal) is used for initial
00150 connection protocol. At the current time, only new TELNET protocol
00160 is supported. Thus under TENEX, type:
00625
00650 @NTELNET
00700 #CONNECT.TO SAIL 305
00800
00910 If your TELNET program supports NGP transformed format, a greeting
00920 should appear on your screen. As of now, few graphics programs have
00930 been interfaced to NGP; if you want to experiment, you could try
00940 GEONET (an NGP version of Baumgart's GEOMED).

00980 Please let me know the first time you use NETGRF by typing:
01000 MAIL [NET,TVR]
01100 <message>
01110 <control-Z>
01200
01300 If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints, or you want more
01400 information, use the above procedure. If you need documentation on
01500 NGP, you can send a note to SPROULL@PARC-MAXC.
