Since I don't know a whole bunch, this is a fantasy, but
the question is "How close to reality is it?"

I have a (blech) IBM PC at home.  I just saw an ad for
"Run X Windows on YOUR PC".  I have 9600 bps dial up 
capibility to my (yea team) Apollo at work.

Someone mentioned, Apollo as an X window manager that
looks a lot like DM.

Question:  If I fire up "X" on my PC at home and dial
my Apollo at work, can I have the Apollo DM environment
on my PC?  Timesharing with nifty graphics!  Is 9600
bps fast enough?  Does any or all of these components
exist?  What is the meaning of life, the universe and
everything?  

You can post me if you know the total answer to everything
or just knock it out to the net and let it bounce around
for a couple of weeks.

Robert
