Pretty certain the system I remember hearing about was a 990. There indeed
a couple of terminal emulater cartridges for the 4A. Kermit was ported to
the 990 and the 4A as well, but that would have required an expansion
system with drives, which this file server setup was apparently intended
to avoid. Little fingers, I guess.

Something's tugging at the back of my mind about the Plato courseware,
too.
