Yes, there is an X-windows available for Amy. It's by Ameristar, I believe, and it also comes bundled with A3000/UX and the AT&T System V Rel. 4 Unix. I don't know if it works over a modem because it is intended for the Ethernet adaptor. But you should be able to do some digging. Yo, --Tom Sarver

It's a hardware problem.

X works over network protocols, such as DECnet or TCP/IP. If these protocols can be run over modems, serial lines, etc. then you can run X on top of them. GfxBase's X uses Commodore's TCP/IP or Syndesis DECnet. I believe that the Syndesis DECnet can be used over serial lines. The current C= TCP/IP does not work over serial lines. Martin

Also GfxBase has SLIP, at least in beta, it might be released already. John
