HmmMMmmm..  So, answer me this, if you can.  Picture this hypothetical
(at the moment) situation: A Mac plus, connected via AppleTalk to a
Mac fx running a/ux 2.0.  The Mac fx is running the cap/uab package,
allowing it to be an Appletalk<->IP gateway.  Can the Mac Plus be
running MacX, accessing clients on the other side of the fx?

In other words, an AppleTalked Mac Plus X-Windows Display through an fx?
