	I've just installed the OS/2 TCP/IP base system, Network File System,
and Xwindows System Server.  I have a Wyse 370 color terminal and a Relysis
170cp.  Can I connect these to a serial port on my 486 server? If so, how?
	If this is not possible how do I connect another pc to my server?
The manuals from IBM do not discuss any connection outside of Ethernet.
Must I use these or can I connect my 486Server to a 386pc via serial port.
What kind of perfomance can I expect.
	I am trying to put together a small network without the overhead
of Novell or IBM's equivalent.  I can't afford to dedicate a server and
very much like the idea of distributed computing.
	Where does the Xwindow fit into all of this?  I have tried Desqview/X
between to systems and liked it very much except tha it was still Dos.
However, could I connect a PC w/Desqview/X to my Server utilizing the
Xwindow System Server included with the IBM TCP/IP?
	Very much appreciate any help I can get.
