   A German company, X-Software have ported X/Window server ( version 11
release 3 ) for the ST running under X/ST/Multi, a multi-tasking but TOS
compatible OS. It costs DM2000 ( approx #670 sterling ) for the software.
This  will give you  a 19200 baud serial  X/Window terminal. To make the
most of things however you can get Ethernet/CheaperNet from DM1500.

   Their address is :-

   X/Software,
   Sonnenstrasse 2,
   D-8944 Gronenbach, WG
   ( Telephone : 08337 1411 )
