Sorry to take so long with a response/summary, but I've innondated with
many more requests for info to be forwarded than I have received info.
Below is the only response I received, and since so many seem to be interested
I'm posting to the net.

We use something called pcxsight from Locus computing (the same folks who
do dos under unix). It is by no means free, but seems to work reasonably well.
It really needs a fast 286 or a good 386 to be useful. There is (or at least
was) a version for PCs, but it is S..L..O..W and runs out of X resources
very fast. The 286/386 version does protected mode so it can make use of
extended memory. Price is around $250, I think.

	Locus is at:
			Locus Computing Corp.
			9800 La Cienega Blvd.
			Los Angeles, Ca. 90301-4440
			(213) 670-2980
