1)  You don't know if "large machines" will never run OS/2.  In fact, no one
does, since Bill Gates and Jim Whatever-his-last-name-is-in-Hursley-England
haven't revealed their companies' long term strategy for OS/2.

2)  Maybe OS/2 doesn't have the server/client architecture that X has, BUT
if the rumor that someone mentioned in one of these blasted newsgroups is true,
then I should ask you this:  can X emulate OS/2 PM?

X is just a GUI, albiet a complete one as well.  The ability to run a program
on one machine and display its output on another is just an effect of its
design.
