Well, these terminals don't use standard networking. These are all done with serial connections. There is no ip address, no MAC address, no nothing. It would be like connecting two computers via com ports except the terminals are just dumb terminals all they include is screen, keyboard, and two com ports (one for printer and one for data). This stuff is pretty old school, but still interesting!
