I recently heard that an X server had become available for the IBM PC. However, my information was a bit sketchy, and I really wasn't paying attention then because it really didn't matter much then. But now I need to know a few things from people who have looked into it or tried it: o Can the PC run both an X server and a client or clients, running under DOS? 286 Unix (386 are not an option)? OS/2? o Is the PC really anything more than an X terminal when running the X server? o Who makes it, and what roughly does it cost? o Is performance acceptable on an 8 MHz or 10 MHz 286 w/ EGA? My boss is thinking about trying to port an X application over to a PC, and I'm trying to find out what's possible. Thanks for anything you can tell me... -Antonio Romero romero@confidence.princeton.edu
