This was not the point of the original article. Unix Windows (and also D-Net, on the Amiga) is a protocol which allows a pc user to run multiple sessions on a mainframe and view them in multiple windows, using ONE CONNECTION. I would also very much like to see something like this for Windows (or OS/2); if the Amiga can do it, why can't we? -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu DISCLAIMER: I don't have much experience with UW, but I have friends with Amigas who use dnet all the time.

If anyone has any technical information on any of these protocols, please send me email or post something. I have written a comm program for my personal use, since it provides nothing more than any of the other shareware programs out there now. It does have terminal emulation and several file transfer protocols. Anding multiple sessions, is something I am very interested in if I could find the specs and a program on the unix side. Please email the information soon, since my last final is Friday evening, and I will leave that evening.
