We sell and support a product that enables Mac windows to display
on an X-based workstation. It is called Xport and works by turning
the Apple Macintosh into an X-window system client. (Xport was
recently mentioned in one of the Mac magazines -- perhaps that's
where you saw it.)

Here is a quick list of features:

  --Allows any X server workstation user to execute
    Macintosh applications
  
  --Lets users cut and paste between X and Macintosh
    applications

  --Supports MOTIF, DEC Windows, and OpenLook window
    managers


This product is shipping and has been fully tested. To run,
you need a Mac with TCP/IP and an ethernet card. Price is $495.

For more information, send mail to xport@qualix.com or
call 1-800-245-UNIX (415-572-0200).

InterCon will be selling a similar product at Boston MacWorld.  But with an 
expanded feature set.  And most likely at a slightly lower cost :-)

It does not take total control of the Mac, the Mac user can also use the mouse.  
This makes it easier to do training, and tech support long distance.

You can have your Mac in color mode.  Translates the color into grey scale.  
More about color later.

For more information give us a call or drop us a note.
