We use an ethernet board from CMC with their TCP+ package which runs
the lower levels of the TCP/IP suite on the board to take the load of
The Tower CPU. We run X11R4 to X-terminals from three distinct
vendors through it with no problems at all (other than X11 memory
requirements). I can't say first hand how well the package performs
between multiple Towers as we only have one Tower per site at present,
but it would likely be as good.

Our supplier for this (and other quality products for Towers) is:

Sea Change Corp.
6695 Millcreek Drive, Unit 8
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
L5N 5R8

Tel: (416) 542 9484
