I take it you're talking about the multiport serial card in 
the SCO box, with a cable coming out of it as thick as your 
thumb, that talks to the various Wyse terminals (at people's 
desks (all looking like emulators running inside W95).

Brad suggested the serial card might be doing SLIP. I have 
no idea what it's doing. I've only done SLIP over a phone 
line before PPP. This was SLIP inside TCPIP. I don't know 
what SLIP between terminals looks like.
