The ST version of KA9Q allows use of the MIDI port... You could connect
a bunch of STs together that way, I suppose. To get out onto a "real"
net you could use a PC with both SLIP and ethernet as a router.

If you really want speed, you can use the ST's bidirectional parallel port
for ST to ST connection, although you can only connect two machines that
way. I guess MIDI is the only way to chain a bunch of machines together.
(Well... You could go ST - parallel - ST - rs232 - ST - parallel etc...)
The current ST version only does asynch rs232, but you could probably add
support for synchronous mode... TOS should be able to handle 38400bps
without dropping characters, you can program the timers for 61440bps, but
then you'd probably have to rewrite the rs232 interrupt handlers. I'll
probably add 38400 for the upcoming ST KA9Q release.
