    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but, does anyone
    have info on x11 for a ps2/55 running either msdos or os2? I'd
    rather have a vaxstation, but I'm stuck with the ps2/55 over
    ethernet using ftp's pc/tcp (under msdos, a terribly crude os).


We have tested X11 with PC/TCP in house.  We were able to use it
quite successfully.  The only problems that we encountered were that
we were unable to get a DOS shell after all the TCP connections were
exhausted, and that we were not able to get some of the fonts to work
properly.  The latter may have been user error.

I will forward further details about the specific hardware and
version numbers, etc. to Brian at U. Toledo.  Anyone having any
problems with this combination can feel free to contact FTP Software
at support@ftp.com or (617) 246-0900 x100.

Thanx,
