Abstract

The past few years have seen many applications of the mini-computer in digital communications. They have been used as interfaces to larger computers. They have been used as terminal drivers and data multiplexors. They have been used to connect computer centers for intercomputer communication. TYMNET* is a communication net that encompasses all of these features at relatively low cost.
