  If you are communicating with a BSD 4.2 system,  you would *love* the UW
terminal program  -  it gives up to seven virtual terminals at once,
resizable, which may be independently managed as adm31,  vt52,  or tek4010
devices.  Cut and paste between windows is supported  -  it is the next best
thing to a SUN workstation.  I use it from home extensively for programming,
editing, reading usenet, etc  -  and I can see 3d surfaces on a graphics 
window!  I log into one of our UNIX computers,  and then send windows off
to other systems on our local area network...  to my color SUN,  a DEC 20 for 
mail and ARPA feed, VAX for usenet.
  UW is a free (but copywrited) set of host and mac software by John Brunner 
of Lawrence Livermore Labs  -  and has been posted on the usenet.  Did your 
sites not receive it?  (two versions have been posted  -  the one I am 
describing is the second,  *much* more powerful one).
