We have a couple of PS/2 Model 80's around in our office that are 
pretty much idle most of the time. I am curious about whether it is
possible to use them as X terminals, i.e., run X programs on them,
with some UNIX machine being the server. The PS/2's themselves run 
MS-DOS, and have 2 MB memory.

What kind of software is available for this, and what kind of 
changes will need to be made on the PS/2 (like, for example, will
it be necessary to run some flavor of UNIX on the PS/2 itself ?)
in order to use them as X terminals ?
	Thanks in advance.
