A German company, X-Software have ported X/Window server ( version 11 release 3 ) for the ST running under X/ST/Multi, a multi-tasking but TOS compatible OS. It costs DM2000 ( approx #670 sterling ) for the software. This will give you a 19200 baud serial X/Window terminal. To make the most of things however you can get Ethernet/CheaperNet from DM1500. Their address is :- X/Software, Sonnenstrasse 2, D-8944 Gronenbach, WG ( Telephone : 08337 1411 ) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING :- $ Padraig O'hIceadha. $ $ Studying is bad for your health. $ H235_016@ccvax.UCD.ie $ $...................................:.........................................$ $ Thank God my cheques don't bounce as often as my mail does, $ $ But then maybe that's because I can't afford to write any cheques ! $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EVERYONE SAVE THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!!! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.
