I just purchased an RT 125 and installed AIX 2.2.1 and
all the latest updates. It came with a Matrox graphics
board coupled with a 1280x1024 screen.

I'm interested in knowing what is available for the
little guy: I only have X11R3 and I'm seeing everyone
asking about X11R5 (... I'd be happy with X11R4).

Are there any user-groups for RT's?  I tried getting
GNU's gcc-2.2.2 to install, but the RT doesn't seem to
be one of the supported devices?? 

The equipment was cheap (surplus for employees), but 
now I'm wondering if maybe I goofed!?  Judging from
the problems with X11R5 and my experience with gcc,
I'm getting the feeling that AIX 2.2.1 is a doomed
environment, abandoned for eternity. 

I'd appreciate any info on the status of RT's in general
and on any sources of software that support it (I'm
an applications software person, not a systems guy).

Cheers,
