Another company which makes an X server for PC's is Integrated Inference
Machines (IIM).  Their server is unique in that it runs as a client itself
on Microsoft Windows.  This means that you can run any graphics card and mode
for which an MS Windows driver is available.  Usually Super-VGA cards come
with MS Windows drivers for their high res modes, so you can pretty much
have your choice.  It also means you can simultaneously run an X server and
other MS Windows clients.  Bring lots of memory, though.  4 Mb will probably
do fine (we have 2 1/2, and that's about the minimum).  Price is ~ $400.
It will run with both smart and dumb Ethernet cards.

Their address & phone is:
