[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}.
