No. Does it say NT supports full X capability ? Yes. Here is the deal. Get the X11R6 distribution for NT from ftp:/microlib.cc.utexas.edu. Then get the ataman software's telnetd deamon from cica. Install telnet and X on a machine. Run telnet service. Then go to another NT 3.5 machine with builtin telnet. Start it up and connect to the server. Also run xwin x window server again from cica (xwindemo.exe). Go to the X\bin and type "xclock -display myntmachinewithoutx:0.0" and see the clock on your machine which doesn't have the X binaries at all. Now is this what X gives you ? Yes.
