PC X-Server and a Sparc..

[Ted E. Bear]

Here is what I want to do:

I would like to find an X server that will run under PC-DOS so that we can
connect a PC to a Sun Sparcstation to run the client programs.  All the
CPU of the client would be on the Sparcstation and not on the PC.  The PC
simply formats the graphics, etc.  The PC is a 386 w/VGA, so it could in
theory handle the graphics intesity of X.  It would turn my PC into a
sort-of X terminal onto the SPARC.  Ideally, I would like to run this over
a 38400 serial link to the SPARC, but if it is totally impossible, an
ethernet connection could be made to the SPARC.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make this dream a reality?
I have heard that there are some software vendors that sell packages that
do something similar to what I am describing, but I don't know who they
are or how to contact them.  What is the cheapest way to solve this?  Are
there any public domain packages that will do it?
