5.11: Am I correct in stating that I can be connected to several differentcomputers and using several different applications? (thanks Markus :-)

Yes, this is correct. However, the more connections you have, the more
bandwidth is required/used on your link. For example, you could be using
FTP while on IRC, or you could be viewing Mosaic pages while reading news.
However, if there is no traffic on some connections (they are idle), they
do not use bandwidth at all. No matter how many terminal sessions you have
open, you only generate traffic from the one(s) you are using.
