- We have several customers that would take exception to this. Because
- the X11 running on the Amiga supports local clients like twm,olwm,mwm,
- as well as most of the clients on the mit release tape, you only need
- to run whats needed to run on the remote system. Unfortunately we do not
- have an xterm yet, however the with the window manager running locally
- our customers have found the response is sufficient for their needs.
