There are X11 implementations for the "classic" macos. However they
are relatively expensive ($175 for the Tenon X server). At this
point I would recommend VNCThing (http://www.webthing.net/vncthing/).
It works with both OS X and Down to 8.1 with carbonlib. Best of all
its free. The SGI server packages can be found here:
http://freeware.sgi.com/Dist/fw_vnc-3.3.3r2.tardist . The nice
thing about VNC is its platform independance (you can view any
platform with a VNC server from any platform with a vnc viewer) The
bad thing about it is that its slow. Believe it or not X11 IS faster
than some things....
