- Subject: Re: Window-based multiplexing
-
- My opinion is that the multiplexing characteristic of a line should be
- separated from the windowing. The multiplexing should also not be
- terminal-oriented so it can be used as a multiplexed intersystem line.
-
- I've heard several people echo my wish to be able to have file transfer
- multiplexed with a terminal session, or have high-priority transfers
- be interleaved with a long low-priority transfer. And with computer
- ports always in short supply it would be nice to use a $600 multiplexer
- to add a few more terminals and printers (several WY-50 on a table is a
- poor man's windowing system).
