DESQview/X currently has support for running X via the SPX protocol.  It 
works great.  The question is what do you want to talk to?  The SPX
datagram (currently) will only talk to other DESQview/X machines, allowing
them to interoperate.  Host machines typically do not have capability
to run X via IPX or SPX.  They occasionally use IPX/SPX to access shared
database info or something, but if you ask for an xterm across it it 
just gives you a dumb look...

UNIVEL is also capable of running X across IPX/SPX (I'm not sure which 
they use) and do some other neat things.  As of this exact moment UNIVEL
and DESQview/X can't talk to each other, but Quarterdeck and UNIVEL are
working together on this.
