[comp.graphics] transitioning PC networks => X

samuels@mwunix.mitre.org (Michael Samuels) (03/17/90)

I apologize if this has been asked a million times before: I am
working on several projects which want to transition their
current systems towards LANs with bit-mapped graphical
workstations running X-windows.  The problem is that they have
hundreds, if not thousands, of old personal computers that
cannot be reasonably upgraded to run X-windows themselves.  I
have heard that there are a few vendors out there providing
systems that run X off of a workstation and download a
"simulated X interface" to such underpowered PCs.  I thought
Gupta was one such provider, but their product is for DBMSs,
rather than applications using X.

Any suggestions?
