Where do I find information about programs using MGR

Hello,

	I just found out that the MGR program is available for the Macintosh
(interested people - it's on bellcore.com for anonymous ftp, there are a
few other machines supported there two, including DecStation and Sparc).
I understand that this program is similar to X in operation.  It does seem
to have the distinct advantage that a serial line (like a MODEM!) is one
of the supported byte streams - everyone has been telling me I either
need to have ethernet or TCP/IP to use X.  So, mgr is nice!

	Except I can't find any software.  The manual says that this mgr
program used to run on Suns (still does I guess) - seems there would be
some but I can't find mentions of it in the ftp lists, etc.  Can anyone
point me to some MGR-based software?  The client machine would be an
ultrix vax or possibly later a unix-pc.  What I really would like is
something like idraw or xfig except working with MGR.  Alternate helpful
things would be some sort of facility to help port or adapt X programs
to MGR, or some way running X over a modem (e.g. server on Mac connected
to client on ultrix box.)

	Thanks for any help.			jeff
