- Yes, GfxBase makes one for AmigaDOS BUT you don't want to use it over
- a serial connection. Even using V.32bis modems, normal phone
- connnections just don't provide sufficient bandwidth to run X
- acceptably.
-
- You are far better off going with something that has lower overhead
- (like dnet for example) if you want multi-session serial communications.
- Even dnet is too slow for me, personally. I'd rather just rough it with
- job control or use emacs as a windowing system :^)
