- The Star Technologies Multi*Port allows up to eight terminals and/or printers
- to be connected to a single serial RS-232 port on a UNIX or XENIX host. The
- Multi*Port can either be connected locally or remotely using only a single pair
- of modems and a dial up or lease line, which provides a much more
- cost-effective solution than expensive statistical Multiplexors. Purchased in a
- ``Tele-Kit'' the Multi*Port comes with two Multi-Tech modems pre-configured and
- with all required cables for local and remote locations
-
- Installation of the Multi*Port links software into the UNIX system. The
- Multi*Port configuration program assigns a Multi*Port to a physical port on the
- system (i.e., /dev.tty01). Eight new devices are then defined to UNIX
- (ttym0-ttym7). These new devices may be used like any other serial devices on
- the system. Configuration programs are provided but standard UNIX commands can
- also be used to configure Multi*Port devices. Each terminal has full-time
- direct access to the UNIX host and can be independently running its own
- application process.
