[SunRescue] Low-Bandwidth X

[William Staniewicz]

Today on Slashdot there is a discussion of "Low-Bandwidth X".
One of the people posting suggested that Sun's original NeWS and
DPS solved this problem. He further claims that Display
Postscript is more bandwidth efficient than plain X.

A quick search at sun.com shows NeWS being offered in
Solaris 1 but replaced in Solaris 2 (If I am reading this correctly).

What do you think? Is this an example of an old idea
addressing a contemporary situation? I guess I am curious
since I am somewhat of a retro type person who appreciates
things like lynx, mwm, etc.
