[comp.sys.atari.st] X Windows on the ST

hulse@iris.ucdavis.edu ((Charles) Andy Hulse) (06/04/89)

I am interested in running an X environment on the ST.  Is this possible?  I've
read things here before, primarily from Europe, and I wonder what necessary
hardware/software is required.  Do I need ethernet? Or is there software to
make the RS232 handle TCPIP?

Am I making any sense?

Thanks,
Andy Hulse

I have also wondered if the ST couldn't be used as an Xwindows terminal over
a serial line.  I would appreciate any discussion on this...maybe a summary to
the net.

thanx,
james
