We have this product. It was presented to us as the IBM release of X. It is a
server on the MSDOS machine (xondos) to which you can connect X clients 
running on other machines. But don't get to exited. We have PS/2's model
30/286 with 1 Mb. The maximum number of windows is *** 3 ****. You cannot run 
an xedit because there are to many small windows. It returns with a failure on 
memory allocation. The colors are alrigth, but the whole server is with more 
then one xterm present very very slow. The uwm menu's show about 10 second 
after pressing a button.

We do not sell or develop another produkt, my motives for publising our 
experiences is pure frudtration about an expensive produkt that does not suit 
its promises.
