Date: 28 Jan 92 09:07:29 RHi all you grass-folk. I am starting to learn Grass4.0, but due to
physical and financial restrictions, I do not have direct access to
the Sun SS2 or its display terminals, so I use telnet rlogin over our
campus network. This works nicely, but the telnet (Clarkson CUTE)
emulates VT102 and Tek 4014 (mono). This (as best I understand)
eliminates any utilization of the X-windows drivers, and any supported
graphics drivers. As such, it allows me to do operations, but I
can't view displays.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

There are several people interacting with GRASS from a PC using any of the
X-Window server programs that are available. I have used a program called
eXceed Plus or something like that that works great. I had a list of
vendors around here, and if I find it I will post it. The critera
are the obvious ones: needs a mouse, ethernet drivers and hardware,
and a high res 256 color super VGA display. preferably 800x600x256
or 1024x768x256 or better. Picking a fast card helps a lot too.
