- YES! If your university supports SLIP, just get ka9q from tsx-11 and
- follow the instructions. I run remote X11 using a 14.4kbps v.32bis
- modem. The data compression really seems to help with remote X.
-
- And if your university does not support slip, get term from
- tartarus.uwa.edu.au:/pub/oriellym/term* (Probably not exactly the
- right pathname, but close enough to get you there).
