[comp.windows.x] Running X terminals over slip lines...

kochhar@calliope.harvard.EDU (Sandeep Kochhar) (09/20/90)

HI!
Can anyone who has successfully run an X terminal over a slip line (from
home, say) send me any and all information on how does one go about doing
this... especially, since I know very little about slip lines...

e.g.
	- does the X terminal need special software (e.g. will an NCD19 work)
	- do I need special software (what?) on the host end (Sun4's in our case)
	- what else do I need (e.g. modems?)
	- what's the minimum  speed (e.g. 1200 baud)  needed to make this work
	  reasonably well?
	- your experience with this? (e.g. too slow, too painful, etc.)

Please reply via email.
Thanks.
