I have an IBM AT compatible with 640 Kb memory, Hercules Graphics Screen, MSDOS 3.1.  I am considering using it as an XTerminal to our HP 9000/360 running HPUX 6.5.  Does anyone have experience with any of the commercially available XTerminal emulators such as XVision, PC-Xview, PC-Xsight?  In particular, I am looking for information which will allow me to decide whether my PC is powerful enough to act as a usable XTerminal (xbench(marks), general experience etc).  Also, does anyone know of any public doma









in XTerminal emulators which I could try instead of forking out good money for one of the above packages?  Alternatively, I am considering purchasing an XTerminal such as those sold by HP (and others).  Does anyone have any experience with any of the commonly available XTerminal with HP 9000/360's?  Information such as xbench(marks), configurability etc would be helpful.  Thanks very much,

Ian Jolly
