Some Ideas, (maybe not solutions)
1. A company called Xinetron (1-800-345-4415) is selling a "package",
you can purchase a Novell 2000 clone (xinet-321) and X-Windows + TCP/IP
software for about $175.00 (We're getting one to try it out ... 30 day money
back ....)
2. From ACCUVAX.NWU.EDU (I think, check Archie) you can get a piece of
software which allows you to turn an XT into a bridge. It's called PCBRIDGE.
The advantage of this is that you can setup many X-Terminals and all can use
the same SLIP line.
Total cost involved is in the range of $400.00 (assuming you must purchase
the XT)
Let me know what you find. I'm interested in setting up something like this.
(That's why we're getting the board to test (1))
Good Luck
