Greetings.  We would like to use one of the new NeXT machines (68040)
as a {\sl Mathematica} server, where students could login and run
said program from remote terminals.  In particular, we would like 
to have them able to log in from X-terminals, and use the graphics
capabilities.  The people at NeXT do not think we can do this, we 
can just log in from ascii terminals... yet I am told that there is
a complete X11R3 for the NeXT, which would seem to indicate that we 
could do that.

Am I asking for the impossible?  All I need is for the NeXT to be
able to recognize a remote display.  Has anyone tried this?

Thanks.  Followups to comp.windows.x, or mail to me and I will post
a summary.
