ENQ /enkw/ or /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].
