However, the combination of being able to talk to two or more computers from one terminal, and of being able to transfer files to and from each computer in a clean and simple fashion, turns out to be extremely powerful and convenient. It is the poor man's DECNET, giving access to peripherals on both machines for anything that can be transmitted over a serial line.
