Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the easiest thing be to copy
the TOPS-20 LINK feature?  You just add a couple of words to
the terminal line database, that can be diddled by an appropriate
system call, so that User1 LINKing to User2 causes User2's
terminal data block to indicate that the terminal driver should
copy all output for User2's terminal to User1's terminal as well.
This certainly sounds easier than spawning processes and mailboxes
and all...
