/enkw/ , /enk/ [from the ASCII mnemonic ENQuire for 0000101] An on-line
|
|
|
|
convention for querying someone's availability. After opening a talk mode
|
|
|
|
connection to someone apparently in heavy hack mode, one might type SYN SYN
|
|
|
|
ENQ? (the SYNs representing notional synchronization bytes), and expect a
|
|
|
|
return of ACK or NAK depending on whether or not the person felt
|
|
|
|
interruptible. Compare ping , finger , and the usage of FOO? listed under
|
|
|
|
talk mode.
