We are working on a project that will provide a high speed network communications card in a Unix workstation and low level support (read/write/handshaking etc.) routines. What we would like to do is to get tcp/ip and then the X Window System (Release 4) running over top of this high speed network. I don't have much experience in this and would like to know answers to (or pointers to where to look) for the questions of 1) how does one get tcp/ip running on a new network (e.g. can you buy 'generic' commerical packages and modify them to match your network)? 2) what's involved with having X11 R4 run over the tcp/ip protocol that get's setup on your new network? We don't have expertise in this area so we're looking for hopefully easy off the shelf solutions, or solutions that can be purchased with some (not too many :-) dollars.
