- No, it can't be done. The PMX program for IBM's TCP/IP package is an
- Xwindows server only. That is, it can only display windows on the PC
- for X programs running elsewhere. It cannot send information to be
- displayed on a remote display. I've heard rumour that IBM is working
- on this capability, but it's not here yet.
