The distiction to be made here is between the Netview client
and the X "client" (isn't it actually the X server?). Anyway, the
Netview client and server can be a mix of Unix platforms, but
not a mix of Unix and Intel. Using the X-emulation approach,
the Intel box can telnet to the Unix Netview server just fine and
this is a very common approach.
Cordially,

I can't speak of NetView/Solaris, but with NetView/AIX (which I
understand is effectively the same code base), this is my standard working
environment. NetView uses XWindows, and will work with any XServer that is
of a sufficient level (we use Hummingbird).
