I am also interested in such an application for Windows.  The
Macintosh has a couple of communications alternatives that offer
multiple windows over a serial line.  There is one commercial TCP/IP
connection package for the Mac that I know of with SLIP support, and I
have heard that there is a version of Mac NCSA Telnet that supports
SLIP.  There is also a product called MacLayers that allows multiple
windows over a serial line to a UNIX host without using TCP/IP.

I have not investigated either of these alternatives since I don't
have a Mac at home.  I do have a 386 with Windows 3.0 at home that I
would love to use to access campus UNIX machines using multiple
windows.  Does anyone know of a product, either commercial or
shareware, that would support this under Windows?

Sorry if this has been covered before.  I am new to Windows and to
this group.
