Unless your working for the Government and required to migrate to OSI
in the near future, I think NeWS/TCP/IP/SLIP is a reasonable approach.
For the Government/OSI folks it would likeley be non-conformant to run NeWS/TP0/CONS/X25, I suppose they are suppose to use ODA over the OSI
stack for this kind of stuff.

What protocol stack does that use?

I tried but couldn't get support from Neighboring System Administrators
who are sold on X11.  Any one want to connect up over TCP/IP/XNI/X25?
I've noticed that xterm uses about twice as many packets as a rlogin
session, and that rlogin uses about twice as many packets as a nterm 
session.  So over 2400 baud modems NeWS might perform as well as X11
over a 9600 baude modem.
