I recently saw an ad for a product, I think made by DigiBoard in an
issue of UNIX Review, which I can't find.  It was for an add on board,
that I believe helped cross the barrier between a PC and UNIX system.
I only glanced at it at first, but I am very interested now.  I was
wondering if anyone knew about this product, and what it could do.
What I would really like, is something that is like a built in terminal
program for my PC, but that would emulate some kind of video interface
that would allow me to possibly run X Windows.  IN other words, I want
to convert my PC to a UNIX graphics terminal.  Is this possible?  I am
now thinking that that board was just a VT100 emulator type of thing.
It also said that it could create 2 sessions (1 DOS, 1 UNIX) or something
to that effect.  Sorry this is so vague, but any help, or direction would
be appreciated!
