I hardly consider it a flaw with X that it might not work well over ISDN. ISDN is a broken and obsolete technology, and I speak as someone who has frequently taken part in the T1/D1 standards meetings. In any case I remember one of Jim Gettys early demos was running a client doing fast graphics at Berkeley with a server at MIT and the performance wasn't obviously worse than performance across a LAN at MIT. Now the link was probably a 56kbps leased line so I don't think that X will do so bad over 64kbps switched lines.
