      Our local IS shop is planning on replacing an application with
      a "traditional" design which utilizes a terminal emulation
      user interface, with one based on an X client-server architecture.

      The current configuration has the application, which uses an
      SQL data base (ORACLE), running on a Decstation 5000 server.
      The Decstation is attached to an ethernet which in turn is on
      a node on a FDDI backbone local area network.  With about 30
      simultaneous users, the current application is using about
      30 percent of the available cpu time on the Decstation.  In
      addition to the change in the interface, expansion of the user
      base to level which would suggest about 50 simultaneous users
      is anticipated.

      The user machines constitute a heterogeneous environment.  The
      majority of users have MacIntoshes, but Intel based PCs, Sun
      Dec, SGI, HP .... workstations are also present in the environment.
      The Macs have direct network connections (most do, all will).

      The persons responsible for setting up and operating this
      application and system would like to here of other X client-server
      implementations of similar scope.  Information on successful
      projects, problems encountered, and user satisfaction levels
      would be appreciated.
