They never said it would!

This is not a usual "problem" - if somebody offers you a product using TCP/IP
you cannot declare YOUR problem, that it doesn't work with XYZ-NET as a problem
of the product...

You can even use Xsight under Xenix, what I do VERY SUCCESSFULLY for several
months now (this posting was done inside an xterm being displayed by the
Xsight X11 server).
It works very well and FAST ENOUGH in my opinion (I have a 16-bit VGA and
a 386 with 33MHz and Cache).
Allthough I had to tune up my system (adjusting several kernel parameters)
and to establish some device inodes etc. I had no further problems.
I even used the 1024x768 mode on an Eizo VGA successfully, but I wasn't 
satisfied with the quality of my screen.

I am using Xsight Version 2.1!
