Could someone post more information about both X/11AT and the new
Desqview/X (or whatever)--in particular, anyone who knows about:
what versions of Windows X/11AT runs under (if any), how much it
costs, where I can order either X/11AT or Desqview's product at
a good price, and especially: how do these X terminals rate in the
"dog slow" category?  Are they dog slow?  Are the Really dog slow?
Are they as Dog Slow as I imagine a 16-bit implementation of X
would run on a 12 MHz 16-bit architecture with almost no registers? :-)
Or would either of these puppies make viable X terminals?
