Yes, we saw a dramatic increase in performance.  The 'x_st_mgr'
doesn't seem to handle font paths correctly, though, so you will
probably need to create a single font directory for the Xstation.

Concerning the question about handling the 802.3, which version of
the software do you have loaded?  A month or two back I received an
update to the 'x_st_mgr' that was supposed to have fixed (or possibly
enabled 802.3).  It should be the same as on the 3001 update.  Since
we are not running on thin, I can't tell you if it works.
