Greetings oh puissant and omniscient ones in netland!
Can anybody tell me anything about something called "xstones?" According
to a certain vendor of X terminals (name suppressed to protect the inno-
cent, as much as any vendor is innocent. But the company name might begin
with J), his (sorry: "their" [I've been browing in soc.{wo}men again])
device performs at 8000 or so "xstones" (whatever those are) compared to,
say, an SGI 4D doing 1800-2000. Thus:
1) (If it exists) is this something from the X group?
2) Did this vendor just write his own to make his hardware look good?
3) If it exists and anyone knows about it, is source and/or documentation
available?
4) Any and all information is welcome.
I hope this is of moderate interest to some people on the net, so
apologies in advance if this question has already been answered.
In which case I second the poster who asked whether there are archives
of the traffik in the group. (I've only been following it for a
week or two.)
People seem to have been able to get to me with:
