It would be nice to be able to 'slip' into the bsd box without supporting a full 2nd unix box just to be a smart terminal. I hear that X11R6 will have Xremote. Will that be an unix thing, dos thing, or both (or should I say - a generic X thing)? Most of the X packages for mos-dos cost big $$$, too much for us poor university employees who want to connect once or twice a week during the night. mark@student.business.uwo.ca (Mark Bramwell CS STAFF) Western Business School -- London, Ontario
