Abstract

This paper describes the design and preliminary implementation of a graphics system using a large and small computer configuration connected through conventional voice lines. The small computer is driven by both graphical and conventional input/output devices. In this type of system it is extremely important that the communication line carry only messages with high information content, since low speed is one of the major system constraints. Thus, the design of the software system depends heavily on the communication support devices, as well as on the relative power of the computers.
