Does anybody have any insight into Xwindows under OS/2? My scenario:
I've got a 386 PC with OS/2 running some home-made DSP application tools and
it uses the Presentation Manager to paint lots of pretty graphs and pictures
on the PC monitor. I want to integrate this with a larger signal processing
system that will use a Sun SPARCStation2 as a system controller/user interface.
The Sun will be running Xwindows under SunOS 4.1(?). I need to open a window
on the Sun and have it contain the graphics from the OS/2 machine. The two 
platforms will be connected with Ethernet and TCP/IP (perhaps NFS as well).

1) Is anybody aware of an Xwindows package available for the OS/2 machine?

2) Is there a better way to work the interface while maximizing use of 
   off-the-shelf software?


Any responses are appreciated:
