The echo server of Medley Interlisp mirrors the packets received over a network. This is the output of the client, function NS.ECHOUSER, where ! represents a sent packet and + a received packet. The Medley client instance accesses the server instance connected to a Xerox XNS local network emulated via Dodo Services, all running on Linux.

These are the screens of two Medley Interlisp instances connected to a Xerox XNS local network emulated via Dodo Services, all running on Linux.
A frame delimits a clock application on the first instance. The second instance is running COMMWINDOW, a remote screen monitoring tool connected to the first instance, and shows in real time what's inside the framed area on that machine. The tool is conceptually similar to VNC.

The Clearinghouse is the directory and naming service of the Xerox Network Systems (XNS) protocol suite, which was used by Xerox workstations and other machines including Interlisp systems. The Clearinghouse is to XNS what DNS is to TCP/IP.

These are the screens of two Medley @interlisp instances connected to a Xerox XNS local network emulated via Dodo Services, all running on my Linux box.
A documentation browser is open on the first instance. The second instance is running MONITOR, a remote screen monitoring tool connected to the first instance, and shows what's on the screen of that machine. Think of the tool as a grandfather of a VNC client, developed in the 1980s.

The full source of MONITOR, client and server, is 180 lines of Interlisp code.

This is Medley Interlisp running the Lafite email program. The mailbox window at the bottom left has a single entry, a test message I sent myself shown in the large window to the right.
What's neat is Lafite delivered to and retrieved the message from a mail server by exchanging packets over the Xerox XNS local network, here emulated with the server on my Linux box via Dodo Services. See the network logs in the black Prompt Window at the top left.
Nick Briggs @nhbriggs is reviving the original XNS network stack of Interlisp, which can now run Lafite and other network applications.
