For example, could I connect >an X11R4 X-terminal to a BSDI box? How about a Sun running X11R4? Probably none. I've had BSD/386 and ISC 2.2 (running X11R3) in a net for 3 months now, and just about everything to do with X works just fine and dandy. No problems with runnin X11R5 clients on the X11R3 server, anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Lehey | Public access UNIX available - try BSDI LEMIS | out on our machine!
