A friend asks me:

I regularly use three different mainframes in my work at the same time.
I currently have three terminals in my office so that I can be logged in
to all three.  I frequently need to capture info from one, and re-enter it
to a program on another.

How can I do this with just ONE terminal on my desk?

******

I ruminate:  Well, you'll need a computer with three serial ports, and
the ability to run three simulatanous terminal emulation programs.
Built in cut and paste from screen to screen would be nice, but simple
data capture would probably do.  Likewise, real multi-tasking would
be nice, but multi-finder or TSR programs would do.

So.  Has anyone done this?    Please respond by EMAIL unless you
are sure that this will be interesting to all three newsgroups, or
trim you followup list.

Thanks ahead of time.
