As in more than one user simultaneously? Or many users using the system at
different time.

Are we to assume that Lance has figured out a way to use Two serial cards 
and have TWO copies of LLUCE running at the same time on a 128K IIE? And that
he has figured out a FileSharing method for ProDos 8 based files? I don't think
so.

Be careful about what you say. Multi-User implies simultaneous use, and the
only system that -I- know of that is capable of handling something of this
nature is under GNO. 

But, yes, I plan on keeping up the work. As I stated to you in E-mail, I will
be sending out, over the Net, the FutureNet RFC as soon as Josh gets me the
update. I'm calling it an RFC cause that is basically the type of information
that it contains.

Let me just say, that the ACOS based Networks can learn a lot from how the
FutureNet operates. A lot. Flame me as you must, but FutureNet is, without
any doubts, THE single most sophisticated, powerful, yet easy to use 
networking platforms available on the Apple II series. Josh has done an 
absolutely marvelous job with the FV 5.0 implementation of it. 

I think, once I post the information files, that this will be quite apparent
to all. .
