Most of the mail I received was "tell-me-what-you-find-out" in nature;
instead of individual responses, I'm just posting to the net.

The bottom line (based on several informative replies) is that the Mac
CANNOT (yet) be used as an X terminal over a serial line under the
MacOS.  One CAN use SLIP and MacX under A/UX, however.

The most knowledgeable folks responding to me were hoping that Apple
was working on SLIP for the Communications Toolbox under the MacOS. It
seems obvious by the volume of mail that I got that this would be a
Good Thing.

Thanks to all who helped.
Mark
