	I would like to know how useful it would be to run X on an Xterminal
that is connected to a server across a 4800 baud line. The Xterminal would be
used to access remote machines on a network, probably through the use of an
xterm session. No graphics applications would be run on the Xterminal. Would
the Xterminal see decent performance, poor performance, or what ? My only
experience with remote X connections has been across a local ethernet, and a
client has posed this question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Jim Robertson
