Well, it's supposed to be SV compatable (from what I remember), so I doubt it does sockets, but I could be wrong. It has an editor called Elvis that is a VI clone.. dunno about kermit. > >One question I won't ask is "will is support X11R4?" > >Are there any repository sites for goodies and toys to go with Coherent? >Or is all this brand new?

The guy on the other end said "It's fully source code compatable" (don't remember to which version).. so, if you can find source for X11R4 for the version that it is source compatable to, you can run X11R4. Assuming I remembered right, and it's SV compatable, there ought to be LOTS of repositories of source code out there (all over the place as a matter of fact..) Hope that helps..
