[comp.sys.next] More than one terminal on a single NeXt

sandell@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Gregory Sandell) (04/10/89)

Does anyone have any idea how difficult it would be to hook
up, say, a vt100 to a NeXt machine for a second user?  I am
interested in the possibility of using a cube as psychology
experiment workstation, where the subject would sit at the
actual NeXt terminal and I would be monitoring the activity
from a vt100 (or IBM-PC, or whatever) in another location.

Thanks in advance,
Greg Sandell

Not too difficult at all. Right now I have a Mac Plus hooked in to
serial port B and a dial-in on port A. For a terminal right now,
all you have to do is change the getty entry.

If you want to use an Amiga, Atari ST or Mac for a terminal, I recommend UW 
(a.k.a. unix windows) it works great and compiles without modification.
