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).
