Implementation of a local area network (abstract only)
Sherry Lesiker · 1987
ThriftNet was created by Dr. Tobin Maginnis and Dr. Donald Miller in 1979 as a locally developed basic network for file transfer and establishment of a virtual terminal between two computers connected by a pair of Serial Line Units or SLUs. This network has been described as an unobtrusive network in the sense that it requires no operating system modifications and uses existing terminal lines for intercomputer communication.
