Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just subscribed to this news group. I have this Sun Network and I have this Compaq 386 on my desk with an EGA card. Is there a way to make the 386 a x-windows server that Sun's OpenLook will use and respond to on the Sun Network? I have several types of ethernet cards available for the 386, but what software do I run to make it an X Server? Where do it get this server software? I think we have a couple of PC's around here with PC NFS installed, but I don't think that package will help in any way with this problem. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

You also need about 4Mb of memory for things to run smooth and a mouse. You will need the PC NFS to talk to the Sun. There are more details of what files to configure on the Sun (Your Internet and Ethernet adress in the /etc/hosts.local file) but the manual from PC/Xview will pretty much explain all. Cheers Mihai
