You have three options if you're using MacTCP, or two if you're using OpenTransport -- forgo MachTEN since you would need both parts (unix and X), which costs a good deal more than just an X client -- for that, look at eXodus <http://www.wpine.com> or Xoftware (bsaed on the MacX code), both of which cost a good deal less. MachTEN is a true Unix BSD server for your mac -- slightly overkill if you only need an xTerm to connect to the pentium. ymmv, imho. hth jon
