Yes definitely but client only. Ask your IBM salesman for ordering information. The VM version is available and I have used it. The MVS version may or may not be avail yet (I don't know the dates). Both products depend on TCP/IP and may even be part of the same package. It is X11. It will also be available on AIX/370. Walt Daniels IBM Research

It is X11. It will also be available on AIX/370. It is X11 R2, not X11 R3. This makes a difference as R3 servers do net get along perfectly with R2 clients. When is X11 R3 going to be available from IBM? None of our local IBM types seem to know the answer to that. Wake and and smell the roses IBM, you are a follower of trends these days and not doing a very good job of it. > >Walt Daniels >IBM Research

IBM has been shipping X11.R3 for quite a while since it released AIX with the PS/2 model 80. The latest AIX for the RT is also X11.R3 (with some old R2 clients, un update to full R3 is available for the asking). All of the above mentioned versions of X11 for mainframes are going to be X11.R3. You need to do some more research, next time. You also seem to have an "attitude" problem.

Since the upgrade hosed the first client machine we tried, we have yet to see if it is really release 3. Most "attitude" problems have very real roots...
