<h2>X Terminal Help</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>An X terminal is an electronic display terminal that
|
|
communicates with a host computer system using the X Window
|
|
protocol developed at the Massachusetts Institute of
|
|
Technology.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The X Window protocol allows a program running on the host
|
|
computer system to display both formatted text and graphics on
|
|
the X terminal. Since the X Window protocol is defined to work
|
|
over any TCP/IP network, X terminals connected to the Internet
|
|
can be connected to hosts located anywhere on the Internet.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Personal computers (including both PCs and Macintoshes) can
|
|
execute programs, usually called X servers, that make them act
|
|
like X Window terminals and are frequently used as X
|
|
terminals.</p>

<dt>Terminology</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The terminology used to describe processes associated with
|
|
X terminals can be confusing. An X terminal is also known as an
|
|
"X display server," and the program running on the host
|
|
computer is usually known as the "X client."</dd>
