One other note about the X Terminal emulation softare for the
Vectra and IBM PC class machines; HP originally was working on a 
product called "X/PC" which was intended to not require any special
hardware (e.g. the new accelerated graphics card).  The project
moved all the way through the HP lifecycle and then, just days
after it was officially announced and released to customers, it
was pulled back off the price list.  Why?  The performance was
just unacceptably slow.

Sorry about not including that in my original article on this
subject.  

Also, note that I have a new email address -- taylor@limbo.intuitive.com
-- for those of you that may be interested in contacting me.
