Abstract

Kyoto University has developed a laboratory computer network that demonstrates an easy yet versatile way of accessing several kinds of computers from a single, small-scale computer. Known as "Labolink,"^1,2the network is designed to support laboratory research and education. Unlike the RIG System, another university network reported on recently,³Labolink required no modification of the existing operating system.
