Part of my definition of Workstation is that it be easy to login to
several remote machines simultaneously, and move info to and fro.  This
is important to me because, in my work environment, I have to do this a lot.
Also, I see colleagues with less computer chutzpah who are less
productive because they cannot do this.   (That is, in this heterogenous
environment, you have to know about 5 communications packages and
command languages to move stuff around.)

Now, in a local environment, with an ethernet board in the Amiga, it
could (I guess) do this.  But being limited to one serial port is a problem.
