Is there anyone out there who knows of an implementation of X Window on PC's? I would like X11, though X10 would do for a while. Please E-Mail to me and I will summerize to the net, if interest seems great enough. Thanks in advance. R. Jesse Chaney, jchaney@tmc.edu Office of VPIT Baylor College of Medicine Houston, Texas 77030

Hewlett-Packard is offering an X display server (X/PC) for its Vectra ES and RS series personal computers. Because it is a display server only, X applications must be run on another X host on the LAN. X/PC is on the current price list and shipments are expected in early October. The product number is D1851A and U.S. list price is $495.00. X/PC is supported on the Hewlett-Pacard Vectra ES and RS PCs. Also required are the D1801A ARPA Thinlan Link (which provides a Thinlan card and software with Option 100) and the D1800A ARPA Services (the ARPA software). A mouse is recommended. X/PC will support the EGA, VGA, or HP Intelligent Graphics Card and related displays. Bill Wilhelmi Hewlett-Packard Company Corvallis Workstation Operation Corvallis, Oregon

That sounds really hot but there's no way I'm buying a HP Vectra.
Give me something which will run on a Taiwanese clone with a Herc
clone, a Logitech mouse, and Sun PC-NFS. I'd buy that!

This way one could use X Windows at home by tying into a workstation at work. Is this idea feasible? Mike Smith Hewlett-Packard Labs
