I am considering adding 3 X terminal, probably from NCD, to a DECstation
3100 with 8meg of RAM.  I am wondering how good of an idea this is.  I
would like general comments in addition to answers to some specific
questions.

	1) What kind of resources will the X terminal use on the DECstation?
	   Specifically, will it need disk space(how much), RAM, and CPU?

	2) How much of a CPU burden is an X terminal?

	3) How do you login to/through the X terminal?  Do you have a login
	   screen or do you have to "telnet" to the DECstation?

	4) Are there any specific aspect of the DECstation that might
	   effect the instalation/performance/functionality of the
	   X terminal?

You recommendations and responses will be appreciated.

	Thanks in advance,
	Tom Epperly
