I am about to begin setting up a proof of concept environment where I want
to drive a number of X terminals (and I dont know what brand yet) off of a
DEC MIPS type machine.  Is anyone out there doing this already?  If so, 
would you mind letting me know what problems, shortcuts, etc. you have
encountered to date?

Primarily I plan on running curses-based software within xterm windows.
At least, that is the plan initially.  What porting problems will I find
if the software already works under Ultrix 2.3 on a VAX?

Thanks!
