[comp.windows.x] X-serial connection for DOS PC??

crom@cuuxb.ATT.COM (Jack Dixon) (01/17/90)

With Graphon and NCD now providing X over serial links and with X servers
already in existence for DOS over a LAN, I was wondering whether anyone knows
of an X-serial implementation for DOS or if any vendor out there will admit
to working on such an implementation.  We're working on a project that requires
us to provide remote access to our users and we'd really like to use X and all

  Sorry I can't offer you a product, but there is a mailing list that I
chair whose mission is to come up with a standard for X Terminal support
across low bandwidth and/or unreliable links (i.e. RS232, etc.)  If
you're interested in joining the list, send a message to
x-serial-request@lll-crg.llnl.gov.  You can also peruse the x-serial
message archives if you want via anonymous ftp from LLL-CRG.LLNL.GOV in
the directory mailing-lists/x-serial.
