- I am running Integrated Inference's Machine's X11AT Xserver and it
- runs very well under both Win 3.0 and 3.1. My one complaint is that
- the icons for the X apps when Windoze is running as the manager (as
- opposed to say mwm or twm) are very boring and non-informational.
- The software is running on a 386/25 with 9MB Ram, 100 MB HD and
- a VGA card. The network card is a 3com 3c502 running PC/TCP as
- a network kernel. Hope that helps.>

- I'm using a product from NCR called NCR Windows. I work for NCR, but on
- another software product. This product is very stable, and has a nice desktop
- option that supports drag and drop under MS Windows. The product supports a
- vareity of TCP/IP packages (Sun PC-NFS, Beame and Whiteside, FTP, etc.). I'm
- running with Wollongong Pathway 2.0. The configuration of the TCP/IP package
- is a bit of rocket science, especially getting things to load high, but this
- really has nothing to do with the NCR Windows X server.

- I'm typing this reply in under Gnus running in an emacs X window on a Sparc
- displaying on my 33 MHz 486 PC running MS Windows 3.1. I get very good
- performance.
