I'm currently running eXodus, a monochrome X11 server from White Pines
Software.  It runs under MacOS + Multifinder (or Finder).  The minimum
system requirements are any Mac with 1 Meg RAM, 3.5 double sided floppy
drive, and System 6.0 or higher.  It needs either a TCP/IP or DECNET
driver to run on top of.  (Right now, they support the TCP port from
Kinetics and 2 DECNET implemetations.  Support for MacTCP has been 
promised.)

I'm presently running their Mac II version on a MacIIcx with the 
Kinetics ethernet card and Kinetics software.  I've had very few problems
with this set up, other that the limitation of monochrome X-windows
(I've got a color screen, it's just that the product doesn't yet support
8-bit X.)

If you want more info, e-mail me a note.

P.S. I have no connection with White Pines Software, other than
being a (mostly) satisfied customer.
