- Actually a fast modem line is supposed to be quite usable for X-windows
- (V32 or V32bis with compression), or so I'm told - as long as you don't
- try running a page layout program or something stupid! I was quite interested
- in using this from my arc to our VAX cluster (again with the Gnome X
- server) but as far as I can tell none of the Acorn or Gnome TCP/IP stuff
- supports the serial port.
