[rescue] SunOS 4.1.3 X-Windows client to modern Linux System, How?

[john ferguson]

Comrades,

I'm sitting at a desk which has a modern Ubuntu System underneath in a
big tower and a SPARCstation10 on top with the monitors atop the Sparc.B 
I have the big monitor hooked up via a vga converter to the Sun and to
the Linux system via HDMI. I can switch from one to the other but then I
also have tokeep two keyboards and mice handy.

Years ago we could run the Suns as X-Windows clients to X-windows
servers on PC's running Windows (3 - think it was).B  It took proprietary
software, but it worked and we sold a a number of sites with this setup.

One of them included a SparcStation 2 which replaced a computer-room
full of IBM leased equipment with a disk farm of removable hard disks
which I think maxed out at a few megs each - cannot remember. At this
particular site, a family owned shoe manufacturing business, the owner
was astounded that the pizza-box could run the systems which heretofore
had required a room full of big boxes and a serious Liebert air
conditioning system.

So the question is, assuming I'm running OpenLook on the SPARCstation,
does anyone have any idea how I might do what was so easy 30 years ago?
