I'm seriously contemplating purchasing a Toshiba T1600 laptop.  With its
40MB disk and EGA display it more than meets my needs for portability.
What I am trying to determine is if it can also meet some of my office
needs.  Having heard of an X windows product for PC/DOS from Hummingbird
Communications, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this
product on EGA displays ?  I would also like to know if anyone has
successfully gotten a Toshiba laptop connected to a TCP/IP Ethernet and
if so, how ?  Or can 19.2Kbaud SLIP be substituted for Ethernet ?

Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.  If I receive
sufficient and useful comments, I will summarize back to the net.

Thanks !

Bruce Clarke
