Hi Jerry,

This look like wave of the past. At the beginning of computers there was so
called "main frame machine" that ran programs for many users connected via
terminals. Those terminals could be CRT au teletype.
Todays this technologies is improved as terminals are graphicals and in fact are
most of the time PC, and the technologies is called Terminal server session (or
remote desktop) in Microsoft world and  in *nix word it's simply X windows that
enable local as well as remote session via telnet protocol or other.



regards,
Jacques DeschĂȘnes
