Some of the literature I've gotten talks about "file transfer" and "remote

I only have experience with the 1Mb starlan, but the AT&T software will
provide cu & uucp access over the net, and RFS for mounting remote directories.

You should also have a library for compiling programs that use direct
TLI or streams connections across the network if you are so inclined.
