ABSTRACT:
A hybrid system environment includes a proprietary operating system and processing unit and a non-proprietary operating system (UNIX based) and processing unit. The systems tightly couple to a system bus in common with a main memory and a number of multiline communications controllers and communicate through a common area of main memory. The UNIX terminal connections to such controllers are virtual connections applied by a virtual terminal driver through the system proprietary communications software components. These components include a server, a network terminal driver (NTD) and a number of multiplexer driver modules. A multiplexer physical terminal driver is included in the UNIX-based operating system and a switching mechanism is incorporated into the virtual terminal driver for enabling switching to such physical terminal driver when a user switches via a switch command to the UNIX-based operating system. The server module upon being invoked upon such switching operates to establish a direct communications path between an application running under the UNIX-based operating system and the controller communications line paths through the multiplexer driver module and logically disconnects the virtual communications line path from the NTD module to the multiplexer driver module thereby improving system efficiency and terminal connectivity.
