- I like the product XoftWare from AGE Logic, Inc. They have been written
- up in PC Week, Computer Reseller News, Electronic Design, The X Journal,
- and Workstation News. Unfortunatly, I don't know the exact dates on these
- articles, nor do I have info on comparisions. I have found XoftWare to be
- easier to install than DescView X. It uses Novell's PC-to-Unix connectivity
- s/w so the X server s/w and TCP/IP s/w are installed at the same time.

- Hope this helps.
