Just a quick follow-up to Russ's notes on X for 386 UNIX's.  I just
want to correct the impression the posting left on some that we're
not interested in x11.

The Bell Tech Blit series of boards all run X.  That we ship X10 as
our present commercial implementation doesn't detract from the numerous
11 efforts on the Blit.   We'll be shipping 11 in the weeks ahead based on 
AT&T's own X11 port.   AT&T's stuff, by the way, is hands down the very 
best X11 port on Intel processors running System V.  Their XWIN product
is available off the shelf today and is absolutely rock solid.   Even
if you don't have one of our Blit boards, get the AT&T product and run it
on your EGA (ugh!).

The current line of Blits support 1662 x 1200 resolution in monochrome,
and 640 x 480, 1024 x 768, 1024 x 1024 and 1280 x 1024 in color.  The
new "Instant Workstation" unit combines 1662 x 1200 in mono, plus
640 x 480 in color, plus thick and thin Ethernet, plus a mouse port
on the same card.  As well as X it runs TCP/IP, NFS and/or RFS for netstuff.
These things plug into any '386 clone.
