Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to slap an X terminal onto
a 4D/210GTX over Ethernet?  Since only the application/Xlib fraction
would be running on the SGI, there shouldn't be any problem with the
funny X/NeWS hybrid system running on the SGI, correct?

Also, if anyone out there is actually running this set-up, I'd like
to hear from you on how smooth it was, what the network overhead is
like, and whether you had any recommendation for specific X terminal
vendors.

Thanks muchly in advance!
