On 386/ix VP/ix will support X Windows.  At least it works under xterm
as a vt100.  We have VP/ix on XENIX as well as 386/ix and it seems to work
much better under 386/ix.  One particular problem we have is users wanting
to rlogin across the Ethernet to a 386 system to run VP/ix.  This works
under 386/ix but fails for SCO XENIX.  In order to do this under XENIX
we have had to run serial lines between the systems (BTW, VP/ix on a
vt100 terminal is our goal).  It kind of defeats the purpose of an Ethernet.
