From: Scott M. Hinnrichs
As for the Dialog system it is more of a simple-minded system
that extends the terminal from the local shop that Dialog runs to
a remote terminal access. The request is established on the XT and
then is made to a remote XT which is connected to the IBM mainframe.
There is a simple ftp/telnet system which I wrote for them to
transfer data and emulate a terminal from the remote XT through the
local XT to the mainframe.
The XT's are used merely to support a highspeed 9600 baud
(half-duplex) modem on the phone lines. The software allows an
emulation of full-duplex via multi-stream support. It approaches
70% of 9600 baud in an average interactive session, but with a full
9600 baud for one-way data transfer.
