Mountain View, California-based Network Computing Devices Inc’s PC-X Division has come up with a $200 software package that enables a personal computer at home or in the field to access applications on remote Unix- or VMS-based host computers: PC-Xremote Edition turns a personal computer into an X Window System server so that the user not connected to a local area network can access hosts supporting X via a modem or RS-232 serial connection; available immediately for MS-DOS and Windows personal computers, it was created by removing standard local network driver support from Network Computings personal computer-XView X servers and integrating the company’s XRemote protocol stack instead; it is going after volume with the aggressive pricing.
