- Maybe I'm confused here but I can run X programs from remote machines
- on my PC and I can run xhello (the only X program on my PC) on my PC
- from a remote machine. I therefore think that I have both server and
- client support.
-
- A point of interest though: Before I actually got things running correctly
- I had the remote machine running xhello on the PC and displaying on the PC.
- While this was going on, the focus of _all_ of my X programs changed to
- pointer (since that was the focus policy of the remote machine). Strange.

- I've had no such problems but maybe I'm just lucky. The speed is pretty
- good though, about 1/3 (using 4 bit color) the speed on an NCD X-terminal
- (using 1 bit color).
