Didn't Xylogics buy the Annex from Encore?

Boston University had a terminal network that ran over CATV wiring.
I'm not sure I ever knew

Agreed. 200 and 300 were/are great.

the unibus adaptor. And subsequently upgraded to tcp/ip which required a

Thinking back to those times. The other battle within the office Dec v Unix
camp was for the dominant terminal server protocol. Never put it to bed as
so much invested in Dec lay devices. Bridge tcp/ip devices. So only one
solution. Woolengong tcp/ip on the VAX systems and lat emulation on the sun
below..

Gee, Johnny .. don't be so negative.
Just kidding!
But seriously, this is all such a "blast from the past" .. I didn't
start as early as many of you guys, but I certainly remember building
many, many servers by getting the machine up far enough that it would
run a serial port, then going back to
DEC's DECserver, Xyplex Maxserver, Annex terminal servers, and Xylogics
(for the ones I have touched and remember) all converted telnet into real
RS/EIA-232 lines. (telnet client -> host serial, or serial terminal -> host
telnet server)
These days the Cyclades ones aren't too bad. Newer ones turn

What were the primordial real systems actually doing this?
Maybe I missed it, but what terminal multiplexor do simh simulate?
Or what do you mean by a terminal multiplexor here?
Are you simply

And Ungerman-Bass and Bridge Communications CS/200 before that. I think
