We will be participating in a project that will require running some already
devleoped X Window System applications over a prototype high speed network.  It
appears that a good route for us is to get tcp/ip running over this network,
so that X and other network stuff falls out for free (?).
  What I'm looking for is information on what is required in order to get
tcp/ip running over an arbitrary network.  I.e. is the source public domain
and what parts would need changing?  Are their commercial companies
specialize in this?
  An alternative might be to just port X to run an alternative protocol. Any
suggestions on what protocol or how much work this would be?

  This would run on a sun sparc server type machine.


Thanks,
