We anticipate using some fairly cheap device to support the X display server and have the client running elsewhere connected via Ethernet. This poses a number of questions: a) Whether anybody has any idea about the load an X client imposes on the CPU - if say a VAX-750 would support 8 vt100 users, how many users would it support if those users were running X? b) Whether anybody has any idea of the load X imposes on an Ethernet, with say the client on one machine interacting with the device and X server on another machine. c) What machines, especially at the bottom end of the price scale, have had or are having the X server code ported to them. Details of screen size/resolution, price of machine and software cost/availability would be most useful. Replies by post please and I will summarise to the net in due course.
