[comp.sys.apollo] Xterminals with Apollos

lamfmr@uts.uni-c.dk (Hans True) (03/21/91)

Hello,

I'm in a department which has 2 Apollos, one running 10.3 and the other 9.7,
attached to a University wide token ring. The 10.3 machine is running
X11R4. We would like to buy 1 or 2 X-terminals and don't have much experience
with them, but as I understand it the options are
1) buy something cheap like a GraphOn Optimax and attach it to the
serial connector of the Apollo, using the Apollo as the X-server,
2)buying a bigger X terminal with its own X-server and 
attaching it via Ethernet.
The Apollo has 12MB RAM and 200MB harddisc if that's a consideration.
Also, how well (if at all) does X-windows work between a 10.3 running R4
and a 9.7 running R3 (I assume R4 doesn't work on the 9.7, I'm new to Apollos)

If you have any experience with these sorts of things I'ld like to
hear from you.
Thanks,
