  I need some sage wisdom and advice.  I want to run X windows
on my amiga, and need to know how (if possible).

  The facts:

1. I have an Amiga 1000 w/ 1.5MB and a 30MB hard drive.
2. I have a 19.2k lease line from work (Oracle) to home.
3. I want to run software on my Sparc 1+ at work, and have the
   display on my Amiga at home (Saber-C, my own X code, gnu emacs).

  The questions:

1. Anyone know the email address for the people who do X on
   Amigas?  (Dale Luck? Gfxworks?)  Or phone #?
2. Is this possible?
3. Do I need SLIP?  Or can Amiga-X run on a serial line?
   Where can I get SLIP or whatever else I need?
4. Do I need a 3 button mouse?  I don't use the middle button
   when I'm running Saber or my code.
5. Can I run olwm?

  Right now I'm running A-talk III (great program!) over the
lease line, but I'm doing some X development, and it's kinda
hard to debug graphics that you don't see!


  Thanks in advance,
