I see more and more an interest in molecular biology software on Unix
using X-windows. The reasons for heading that way have been discussed
on thisboard often. Molecular biologists have a lot of work to do and
do not want to learn how computer systems work. They want something
easy to use. I am going to set up a SPARCstation 2 to be shared by
a few labs around me over an ethernet network. Has anyone ever tried
to log in over Internet from an X-terminal or PC/X-terminal and use an
X-window application? What about a high-speed modem? Would it work
like a bogged down networkor is there no way to login this way?
