>>8 user (screens) Altos CP/M machine

I knew a chap who sold computers running Pick operating system - a 386 PC, 640K memory could support a large number of async terminals (Televideo 922) & printers,

A legal firm in Glasgow typing pool had 20+ dumb terminal users running on an IBM 386 PC - wiring 20 serial cables into the back of a PC was an art. Then along came Spider systems (& others) that could connect dumb terminals to ethernet and made life easier.
