=-I was just connected to a friend's Amiga (Hi Shawn) and we were both in VT100.
=-File transfers went smoothly, but when we were typing to each other, our
=-characters were intermingled as we typed. We had to agree on typing return,^J
=-'>' to let the other know we were done typing (like radio: 'over', and
=-'over and out'). I got to thinking, it would be nice if I could have my
=-characters appear in a seperate window from the incoming characters, ie: a
=-output window and in input window. This way we wouldn't step all over each
=-other. 
	Unfortunately, in full duplex mode there's no way to distinguish
between echoed characters and characters originating at the other machine.
What's needed is some kind of protocol to separate the two.  I think adding
yet another feature like this to vt100 would be a wasted effort.  A much
better idea would be a 'talk' client/server pair for DNET.
