I am currently running isc 3.2.2 with their version of X on a system which is connected to the outside world only by phone lines- that is no tcp/ip. What I would like to do is use the x server on the 386 with x-clients on remote machines. ISC (actually Multi-user systems) has informed me that ISC's sl/ip will not work with their X server. Given past experiences with the Hollis, NH advice, I am not sure if they are to believed. Thus the following questions: 1) Will I be able to use ISC's sl/ip with ISC's X? 2) If not, will there be some other way to get a remote machine to talk to my x server over serial lines? Yes, I know that even at 9600 baud, X is supposed to be slow, but It's still faster than downloading my (* LARGE *) data files, and doing the number crunching on a 386 p.c. (The numbers are being crunched and graphics are being generated on supercomputers.) Please reply by e-mail as I don't often have the time that I'd like to read this group regularly. Thanx. -- Steven H. Izen, Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
