Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for providing a computer system having a plurality of logical partitions with a virtual terminal. SOLUTION: The computer system is coupled to an external display device through a single communication interface. The method and system include allowing the logical partitions to share the communication interface by multiplexing communication to the display device for each of the logical partitions over the communication interface. Windows are displayed on the display device for each of the logical partitions, and the communication from each of the logical partitions is then routed to the corresponding window for display on the display device.
