Aargh - take shoe, shove hard.

Chris was it you who posted the explanation some time ago about why it
is arse about for X?

Hummingbird Exceed seems to be flavour of the month, but there are at
least three other commercial products out there. If you have to buy a
commercial products, compare the cost to one of the switch boxen I
mentioned. This way you can run them both at the same time and use the
linux boxen for your networking/dialup, samba server, etc. Warning -
buying one of these switches will cause your home computers to breed

With X, naah, I find it funny that very few things really use X to solve
a problem and if I'm paying for it, then they had better have a support
line guru or "we" don't buy it.

Actually, I have no interest in being a Guru of anything. I just fiddle
with computers. I find it all too much to take in the changes to unix,
linux, MS windows, Os/2, etc,etc, etc all the time. It has just become
one big blur. Remember the vegematic - well most of it ends up like them
- junk in the back of the cupboard.
