I've been thinking along somewhat similar lines lately...  What about trying
to use my MacPlus at home with a fast (19.2kb) Telebit modem running MacX
over SL/IP?  [Or whatever protocol.]

Is something like this possible?  I know people who have NCD X-terminals at
home and run X-windows over a modem.  Can this be done with my 4MB MacPlus?

Now *that* would be something really neat which I could really use!
I'd love to read/see/hear the possibilities and/or impossibilities...
