Bob,

Kev's right on target (as usual).

I have my CoCo 3 set up in the basement with two modems and two terminals hung
off the 4 serial ports I'm using. One modem (two phone lines) handles incomming
calls (I shuttle a lot of files from my home office to my office office as well
as have a number of regular guests logging in), the other modem is outbound.

One tube is in my home office (I'm on that now), the other is on the screened
porch so I can enjoy the warmer temps.

With a normal session, it's not unsusual for me to be logged in on one tube
running Dynacalc, the neighbor's kid downstairs on the CM8 playing some game
(because of the grfx requirements) while the other tube is spitting out status
reports of some process I've started hours ago.

If that ain't mutli-user, I'm not sure I'd understand the concept.

As Kev mentioned, the reason you can't run some of your games on your remote
terminal is a issue dealing with the remote terminal. It just can't handle the
graphic sequences required. I have a number of character based games that work
just dandy either on the local tubes or even across the modem line.

Hope this helps some,

Steve
