	"An Enhanced Transputer Server Architecture" by Brendan Murphy
	<brendan@buck.ac.uk>, Department of Computer Science, University of
	Buckingham, MK1EG, UK.  Presented at the WTC 94 conference in Como
	(Italy), September 1994.
	ABSTRACT:
	  This paper describes an Enhanced Transputer Server Architecture
	(ETSA).  The purpose of ETSA is to provide a more flexible and
	sophisticated environment for interacting with transputer systems
	than is provided by existing server models.  ETSA is a
	network-based architecture that permits the usero f a transputer
	system to be remote from that system.  ETSA supports arbitrary
	server communication protocols such as the iserver (SP) protocol
	and the afserver (AFS) protocol.  This means that existing
	transputer software can run over ETSA without change.  An
	additional ETSA server has been implemented that provides a number
	of enhancements to the Inmos iserver when supported by the
	underlying operating system.  These enhancements include
	multi-threading, support for dynamic server extensions, and support
	for multiple X window pseudo-terminals.
