I'm sure the subject sounds somewhat crazy (X-windows over a modem), but
I'm curious and somewhat desperate.  Has anyone successfully performed an
X-term or X application displaying on a Mac using a modem to a Unix (Sun
Workstation) platform?  I believe there is a product called MacX which
provides the X-server for the Mac.  Does this run over a modem?  Maybe the
answer is "Yes, it COULD be done, but it would be so slow as to be
unusable".  That's fine, but I would still like to know.

TIA.
