PC communication in an OSI environment-TM&T: Mail and Talk on TAINS

DOI

Description

TAINS (Tohoku University Academic Information Network System) is an open systems interconnection (OSI)-based large-scale information network. A very large number of the users of TAINS are using personal computers (PCs). Few of them, however, have any sort of network interface, therefore PCs are connected to TAINS via a communication adaptor called the CS (communication server), which enables PCs to communicate via the in-house coaxial cables and the optical fiber trunk line in accordance with the ISO 8802.3 protocol. The development of a communication application, TM (TAINS M&T Talk system), which is designed to provide PC users with electronic mail (E-mail) and simultaneous keyboard talking (E-talk), is described. >
