The title says is all -- is IBM's X-Windows For PC oem'ed from Locus? I'm trying to find out which 3Com card IBM's product supports, but no at IBM appears to know. If IBM is using Locus' software, then I can probably assume that they both support the same network cards. -- Jeff Wieland wieland@ecn.purdue.edu

The only thing to keep in mind is that the version currently being sold by IBM is not the latest and greatest version from Locus (there was a Locus delta after the IBM version was fixed). However there is a merge of the two streams being done I believe. Disclaimer: I speak for myself, not LCC nor IBM. -- Jack F.

No, I would not assume equivalent support. Yes, X-Windows for DOS Users comes from Locus' Xsight product. No, I would not assume equivalent support. The supported adapters include: - Token Ring Adapter - Token Ring Adapter/A - Ungermann-Bass PC NIC 2274A - Ungermann-Bass NIC Model PS/2 - 3COM Etherlink 3C501 - 3COM Etherlink II 3C503 Russ Heise, AIX Technical Support, IBM
