Talk:Front-end processor

front end processor is just a computer ,usually located at central computer site.it manages all data communication functions . the CPU and central processing unit of front end processor handles all the communication tasks what are the advantages of using a front end processor41.220.124.4 (talk) 12:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the article, 'Front end processor' was linked to from an article about 'Input Method' (aka, "IME"), of the general sort used to input non-ASCII characters, such as the "CKJ" ones.

BUT - this 'Front end processor' article contains NOTHING about such (software) 'devices'. So, either the link in the Input Method' article should be deleted, or (better) this 'Front end processor' article should have a section added to cover this additional, somewhat distinct, meaning.

maybe someday

DEC PDP-11 minicomputers could be configured as front-end processes for PDP-10 mainframes.[1] A PDP-11 front-end processor could provide a PDP-10 ethernet connectivity via the Stanford Massbus Ethernet Interface Subsystem, MEIS (pronounced "maze" or "maize") which is the first cisco (later Cisco) product. Developed at Stanford University from 1982 to 1984 by Len Bosack and George Schnurle for PDP-10 computers.[2][3][4]
