We are looking for a set of products that will coexist on a PC clone.
These would need to perform the following:

    For all users:

    1. NFS
    2. Telnet
    3. FTP

	This should know about nameservers, subnetting, and gateways.

    For users who might need it (and have powerful enough PC's)

    4. X-Server

I have been using Locus' PC-Interface and PC-Xsight for a few months,
but I find that PCI is too much of a memory hog to be useful.  
Furthermore, their TCP-IP seems to have too many limitations and
problems to be usable in a heterogenous machine environment like
we have here.
