	I am at a Computer Theme program here at NC State and we are working
	on such a Beast for UNIX.  What we plan to do is write a
	multi-windowing interface for the Apple IIGS, IBM, Mac, Amiga, and
	Atari ST that will use a standard Packet switched interface to a
	UNIX based system.  It will have the concepts of a striped down X
	windows: allowing multiple sessions on different computers and
	transparent file transfers.
