At the Summer USENIX Conference in Baltimore this past June, John Gilmore of the Grasshopper Group indicated that they were working on a minimal kernal for the Sun 3/50 in order for it to be used as a NeWS server/terminal. This was at the NeWS (or was it X11/NeWS?) BOF. I forget the details. If they were going to support the X11/NeWS mergered server, then this will help you. > Also nobody around here seems to be interested to finance > such projects. Sun was funding the work by Grasshopper. Perhaps John or one of the other Grasshopper Group folks would like to comment upon this? George W.
