Ok, I have seen some discussion about X terminals and have even seen
some actual hardware but I haven't seen much talk about a NeWS
terminal.  Does anyone know of such a beast? A frequent complaint about
NeWS is that it is slow.  Separating the client and server to two
different processors and using SLIP  would seem to be the ideal set up
for NeWS.

I would guess that NeWS would even run better than X in this
configuration because of the smaller amount of data that needs to go
across the link.

This definitely seems they way to go.  A workstation per person is just
overkill (technically and financially) for many applications that could
really benefit from the use of windows.
