- Once the Xserver is running on your X terminal, you can telnet to the sun from
- it, then run any OW client, including the window managers olwm and olvwm, with
- DISPLAY set to <Xterminal-name>:0. NeWS clients like Pageview (and applications
- that use it, like the AnswerBook) won't run under this configuration, but
- otherwise your X terminal will act like a Sun console.
