Hello, I am looking for any existing X Window server software for IBM-PC style machines. Drivers for Ethernet, token ring and local talk cards are important. Daniel Lawrence voice: (317) 742-5153 arpa: dan@midas.mgmt.purdue.edu The Programmer's Room Fido: 1:201/10 - (317) 742-5533

It is sold by IBM, but I believe it may actually be Locus Computing's PC-XSight. IBM was apparently willing to sell it for less than $200. djp

Locus wrote Xsight sells it for $400.00. IBM buys the rights and sells it for 200.00? Something dosn't sound right here. By the way for the Xsight product you need Execlan either net card and software. This will set you back another 500 - 600. Any users out there used Xsight connected to a unix system running X and used a application program yet? Something along the line of Frames desktop publishing software or Qnix Xwindows type spreadsheet. If so can you let us know what it's like. ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda Work: {sun,decwrl,pyramid}!megatest!palowoda Home: {sun}ys2!fiver!palowoda BBS: (415)796-3686 2400/1200 Voice:(415)745-7749
