Just curious ----

I've not yet had a good look at a 6300+ in someplace where
there is an intelligent salesman who can answer questions,
although I think I'm interested in one.

I have several, related questions:
	1)  has anyone tried to hang another terminal off the 6300+??
	2)  is the OS handicapped into being _only_ a single
	    user system, or is init a true init, and spawns processes for
	    multiple logins?
	3)  is there support for hanging another terminal off of a serial card?
	4)  is there a serial card available?
	5)  if someone has hung another terminal on one, how
	    has performance been with all (both?) terminals active?
	6)  if this has not been done, what do you folks using
	    one do when your process hangs, you need to kill it,
	    but your program is trapping signals, and handling
	    them incorrectly?  I'm used to killing a process
	    from another terminal - how do _you_ do it?

Anxiously awaiting your comments, I'm....
