Check out the "term" program (on tsx-11 under BETA/term, I think); it
will run over a com port and will establish a multiplexing link
between the local machine and the remote host, as long as both
machines are running term.
Once term is up and running, you can establish multiple concurrent
logins and file transfers over the link. Under X, you can open
several xterms and have separate remote logins in each one.
You will also need something like Seyon (for X) or minicomm to
establish the connection, because term just handles the multiplexing -
it doesn't cater for logging on to the host in the first place.
I use term very successfully to establish logins from home to work (PC
to Sun) and to simultaneously do mail exchanges and file transfers
between the machines.
Cheers,
