Your approach above is to continue login negotiation after going into full feature phase (as indicated by login response with "F" bit). The draft's intent seems to be to complete all negotiations in the login phase (prior to login response with "F" bit set). The current specification of login phase provides an "F" bit in the login response. This is of no use and provides no value-add. ( 1) when/how does the target set or not set the "F" bit ? ) In any case, the simplest approach would be to just use a single login command for all negotiations. Why add all this complexity of login, followed by partial response, followed by text, text response and then final login response ?? - Santosh begin:vcard n:Rao;Santosh tel;work:408-447-3751 x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:Hewlett Packard, Cupertino.;SISL adr:;;19420, Homestead Road, M\S 43LN, ;Cupertino.;CA.;95014.;USA. version:2.1 email;internet:santoshr@cup.hp.com title:Software Design Engineer x-mozilla-cpt:;21088 fn:Santosh Rao end:vcard
