Simple question: Does an X Windows Server for the Macintosh exist?
If so, is it FTPable from somewhere?
Also, can it be used over a standard terminal serial line?
Any info greatly appreciated!

Anything is possible, I guess. Does anyone else have comments on this? What I would like to know is, is anyone working on a color version of the server for the macII? -David

In the interests of accuracy...
The Macintosh X server which may be built from the MIT R3 core source
runs only under A/UX, Apple's implementation of Unix for the Mac {II,
IIx, IIcx}. This server supports a single 1 bit deep screen. Support
for color and multiple screens has been contributed to the R4 release.
Our X *product* now shipping for A/UX does all this and more.

White Pine Software of Amherst NH has announced eXodus, an X Server program
that runs on the Macintosh under Multifinder. I saw the ad in Digital News
yesterday.
