In the next several months, I am planning to replace our company's
network of AT&T 3B1s with something more up-to-date. Despite some of the
nice workstations I've seen, the openness of using a '386 machine leads
me in that direction.
At the recent Tokyo Data Show, I saw many nice X terminals. This made me
start thinking of setting up a '386 machine and then putting an X terminal
on each desk. Is this yet possible/feasible? For example, can
DOS applications made for VGA run correctly on an X terminal? Could the
mouse work correctly? Will current Unix OA software run under X (I guess
it could always be done with xterm).
Any answers along these lines would be appreciated.
Thank you...
