 Yes, X-Windows comes from Locus' Xsight product.  No, I would not assume
 equivalent support.
 Yes, X-Windows for DOS Users comes from Locus' Xsight product.  No, I
 would not assume equivalent support.  The supported adapters include:
   - Token Ring Adapter
   - Token Ring Adapter/A
   - Ungermann-Bass PC NIC 2274A
   - Ungermann-Bass NIC Model PS/2
   - 3COM Etherlink 3C501
   - 3COM Etherlink II 3C503
