+# 862
+
+An implementation of [RFC 862](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc862), the “echo”
+service, for the heck of it.
+
+## Limitations
+
+This only echos back messages up to 256 characters. That really ought to be
+enough for everyone. It also doesn’t notice when a client dies, which is not
+great.
