In 2003, Boundless Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, was acquired by the majority public stockholders and moved from Hauppauge, NY to Farmingdale, NY, where it produced terminal emulation software, thin client terminals and replacements for old-style text computer terminals.

Another of the groups ground breaking creation was a raster based graphics protocol with embedded sound support that was supported in "'Dialtone ! "'( a serial communications / terminal emulation program ) and the "'System / 75 BBS "'software written for the DOS operating systems.

It was delivered with a set of examples of higher-level protocols that also run on an event loop system, including HTTP ( a simple web server ), SMTP ( simple mail transmission protocol ), FTP ( file transfer protocol ), telnet ( terminal emulation ), and others.

In XP and earlier all console windows were put up by the single privileged process csrss . exe, but after one or two instances of bugs in the terminal emulation leading to a compromise of csrss . exe and hence the whole system, they switched to the current model.

It was desirable to have the system be able to do local setup and terminal emulation even when not connected to a host computer, which led to the requirement for a basic user interface similar to BIOS that allowed it to be set up and handle connections to hosts using X windows.

MTS can and does use communication controllers such as the Memorex 1270 to support dial-in terminals and remote batch stations over dial-in and dedicated data circuits, but these controllers proved to be fairly inflexible and unsatisfactory for connecting large numbers of diverse terminals and later personal computers running terminal emulation software at ever higher data rates.
