Mujica) writes: I need to run The X WIndow System in a MacIntosh. Is it possible? I would appreciate any information. I am particularly interested in: what software is necessary and who sells it; what hardware is necessary and who sells it. White Pine Software sells an X server called eXodus. You can contact them at (603) 886-9050. Their server is out now (I have a copy on my desk) and it runs under the Finder. It's a little slow, but not too bad. As of this release, there's no color support. eXodus runs all on Macs from the Plus to the IIcx. You'll need to make sure you have the correct network software running on it, though; we're using TCPort software from Kinetics. Here's what White Pine's manual says about networking support: eXodus currently provides interfaces to the following drivers... CommUnity-Mac DECNET from Technology Concepts TSSnet DECNEt from Alisa Systems TCPoft/HostAccess TCP/IP from Kinetics Future releases of eXodus will support the followin drivers... ADSP AppleTalk Data Stream Protocol MacTCP TCP/IP from Apple I hope that helps some. George -- ______________________________________________________________________________ George D.
