The Company is Logic Replacement Technology, in the UK. They put an
Ethernet interface into a 520 (not a 1040, for space reasons) and
distribute it with a cartridge containing telnet. Thus, one gets a
multi-session telnet system (up to 4 windowed sessions via Ethernet,
one via RS232). It works, because I am using one to send this, but it
needs better software yet: I hope to put out a better review when I get
the next version of the software.

The interface is sold as an upgrade kit, but I know nothing about
how one would then program it. I have told them (LRT) that they should
release it to the ST hackers and wait for software to flow.

I quite like the idea of a cheap multisession terminal. If they work on the
product it could be very nice.

I don't work for LRT, nor do I get paid as their publicity agent.
