UW gives you multiple simultaneous terminal windows through a single
serial connection.  It makes low baud rate (2400-baud in my case)
connections much more useful.

The host side of UW is availible in source form for BSD Unix.  The
original UW client ran on the Macintosh.

The version I have was derived from sources posted to this newsgroup
some time ago.  The original version worked, but was buggy.  I re-wrote
most of it, fixed some errors in the state machine, added cursor key
support, and optimized screen updates.  The current version I've been
using for several months without problem.

It doesn't have any extra features (i.e. no dialer, macros, file
transfer, etc.).  It emulates an adm31 terminal, up to 7 of them.  It
uses a 7x13 monochrome font, so that I can see more than one window at
a time.  It only works on a monochrome display, although it could be
adapted to color.

I hadn't bothered posting, as someone else had claimed to have a much
fancier version of UW that they were going to post shortly.  That was
months ago...

If there is enough interest, I'll put together a posting.

Anything else you want to know?
