[comp.sys.att] X for AT&T 630 terminals?

tfb@unf7.UUCP (t blakely) (10/31/90)

Anybody know of availability of software to a 3B with a AT&T 630 terminal to
act as an X server.  Seems like it should be doable (easy for _me_ to say).

it *IS* easy -- just upgrade your 630 to a 730X!  this includes new
firmware roms and a starlan-10 nau/4M memory card with your choice of
osi or tcp/ip firmware.  the only caveat -- X *DOESN'T* work over the
rs232 ports.

of *COURSE* there's X server software for the 3b...
