Ummm, I think that you will find that Mac-X is X.25 for Macs, _not_ X as in X-Windows... To run X-Windows on the Mac, one needs to purchase AUX and the X-Windows package that runs under (?)

MacX *is* an X-windows implementation, and you do *not* need AUX to run it. -- Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com ThinkingCorp@applelink.apple.com Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142 One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.

MacX is not an APDA product, it is an Apple product. I guess that means
dealers can sell it, too...
Product number M0108LL/B (MacX version 1.1)
Suggested retail $295.00.
