Greetings,
  We have about 7 hp 9000/318 which used to be faculty workstations
before we got some 345's. The 318's have 4 Megs are are now diskless
student machines. The problem: X11 barely runs on these things. It is
*real* slow and unresponsive. My questions is: Is there a way of running
the X11 Server on one of our more powerful hp's and run a small program
on the diskless which just draws to the screen. This way, the apps could
still run on the diskless but the server would be on a big server. Is
this possible/impossible/stupid?

Mahesh
