  We have a cluster of 16 VAXstations (running VMS and DECWindows) could we run
remote DECWindows type applications on our IRIS 4D50/GT using SGI's X-windows?
  Would it use the 4DDN network software as the transmission protocol or would
we need TCP/IP for the VAXen?
  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
