Graphics via modem is still in the infant stage...there is a product
called PC Remote (I think) that advertises remote graphics availability.

Also, we have somebody who recently replaced the Novell Access Server 
with the Cubix solution mostly because of speed. The Access Server gives
the equivalent of XT PERFORMANCE -- it was too slow. Cubix has a means of
being able to put 2 AT's on a single card.

The application is a large database that needs as much conventional RAM as
possible.
