Well, I recently phoned around to get some info on 3com's TCP.  Our
contact is a chap from Logitek.  When I phoned him and asked if it would
support X-windows, he said yes and infact he was running pc-xview
(X-windows package for pcs that runs over tcp-ip) on the machine sitting
in front of him which had the nbp and the tcp protocol loaded.
