@haitchfiveOne of the yet-unexplored features of XTXT is its potential to multiplex multiple HTTP connections over a single serial link—without relying on TCP/IP.
In the past, we had solutions like PPP (and later PPPoE), which allowed network-layer communication over point-to-point connections. But those were fundamentally data link layer protocols, operating at a lower level in the OSI model.
XTXT, on the other hand, can be thought of as an application-layer alternative for achieving similar multiplexing, but with much lighter networking demands. It’s designed to work seamlessly on smaller systems by simply exchanging text streams—no need for OSI compliance or the overhead of traditional networking stacks.
With XTXT, all you need is the ability to send and receive structured text. And most computers, even very old ones can do that. The simplicity is the beauty.
