Here is my list of X-servers for PCs. Many of these packages, we have
information on because they run over PC/TCP. It is possible there are
other packages that we don't know about. Several of the packages that
run on PC/TCP are also available for other TCP/IP packages. I have
included information on these where I knew it. This should not be taken
as a complete list! (There may always be others :)
