Sure, you can use your Explorer as a terminal emulator for you UNIX boxes.
You can have as many VT100 windows/connections as you can deal with.  Just
type "SYSTEM Control-V" to create new ones.

As you may have noticed, the Explorer comes with a rather nice editor.  It
would be a shame not to use it, so you should when editting your files on
remote UNIX boxes.  I'd recommend checking out the NFS that is available on
the Explorer.

Lastly, sure you can use a modem with your Explorer.  Just connect it to
the serial port.  If you want to use it from a VT100 window, you used to
need a patch that could be found in the sys:public; directory.  Yes, in
addition to your modem VT100 session, you can still maintain a number of
them via ethernet.
