Ok, I have seen some discussion about X terminals and have even seen some actual hardware but I haven't seen much talk about a NeWS terminal. Does anyone know of such a beast? A frequent complaint about NeWS is that it is slow. Separating the client and server to two different processors and using SLIP would seem to be the ideal set up for NeWS. I would guess that NeWS would even run better than X in this configuration because of the smaller amount of data that needs to go across the link. This definitely seems they way to go. A workstation per person is just overkill (technically and financially) for many applications that could really benefit from the use of windows. -- Gary Wright ...!uunet!hsi!wright Health Systems International wright@hsi.uu.net
