    Abstract: A terminal server (20) for providing communication between a host computer and a synchronous, asynchronous or parallel communications port across a general purpose network (10) is provided utilizing a unique device driver interface and multiplexing communication protocol. The server (20) communicates data and control commands for multiple ports (40) on a single connection, thereby reducing demands on the network (10). In addition, genuine TTY devices are made available across the general purpose network which have all the characteristics of local communication ports. The present invention also makes possible access to the ports (40) on the server (20) to multiple host computers located on the network (10), allowing fair access to shared resources such as modems and printers. Finally, the invention can also be implemented in hardware, further increasing compatibility with existing host computer software and further reducing host computer overhead.

    Abstract translation: 用于通过通用网络(10)提供主计算机与同步,异步或并行通信端口之间的通信的终端服务器(20)利用独特的设备驱动器接口和复用通信协议来提供。 服务器(20)在单个连接上传送多个端口(40)的数据和控制命令,从而减少对网络(10)的需求。 另外,真正的TTY设备可以在具有本地通信端口所有特性的通用网络上使用。 本发明还使得可以将服务器(20)上的端口(40)访问到位于网络(10)上的多个主机计算机,从而允许公平地访问诸如调制解调器和打印机之类的共享资源。 最后,本发明还可以以硬件实现,进一步增加与现有主计算机软件的兼容性,进一步降低主计算机开销。
