Enquiry (Answerback)

Text
Hex	0x05

Sends an answerback string. In the VT100, this was configurable by the operator.

Implementation Details

The answerback can be configured in the config file using the enquiry-response configuration setting or on the command line using the --enquiry-response parameter. The default is to send an empty string ("").

TODO

• Implement method for changing the answerback on-the-fly. This could be part of a larger configuration editor or as a stand-alone method.
