Abstract
A system and method for allowing communications sessions to be established between two or more computer processors and a remote terminal in a communications network where only one host to terminal session may be created. The system allows processors in a loosely coupled processor complex to determine whether another of the processors has an existing communications session with the requested remote device. If so, any new request for a communications session with that remote device will be routed through the processor with the established link. The interprocessor routing uses service transaction programs within each of the processors in a loosely coupled complex to establish the required communications sessions and to serve as an intermediary for passing messages between the requesting host and the remote device.
