  I think the subject, summary, and keywords just about say it all.  I'm
looking for a good home work environment that won't cost a lot or
require a lot of system maintenance.  It strikes me that, if feasible, an
X terminal and a high speed modem would fill that bill perfectly.

  Does anyone have any experience running any of the new X terminals over
a 19,200 bps RS232 link?  Evaluations of software/hardware quality,
support, transparency, performance, etc. would be appreciated.  Please
mail directly to me if you can (casey@lll-crg.llnl.gov) since I seem to
have a little difficulty keeping up with netnews these days ... :-) I'll
summarize to the network of course.  Thanks for your time.

Casey
