I recently heard of someone using the X Window System remotely on their home workstation using a program called "wireless" or "wireline" or something like that. IT WASN'T USING SLIP! I suspect this works by making another display available, and shipping the commands to a receiving program on the remote system via modem which simply translates those calls into X for the local X server. I have no idea how it actually works. I can't use SLIP (an oversight on my workstation's manufacturer's part), so this is of interest. Any help? Jeff jeffg@sgi.com

Might this have been a GraphOn X terminal? Their X server runs on a UNIX host rather than in the terminal, and sends their terminal's own graphic language over the wire, rather than IP.

I thought every X-Terminal has a optional seriellineinterface. NCD and VISUAL does! They send special software for the client side. -- Ralf P.
