Woo hoo!  X11 over modems!  My favorite!  Yeah, well I once ported a
Common Lisp system to a Convex in Austria, over university dialup and
its 56k internet connection where every keystroke was a five second
delay across the pond and back.  I had to figure out user/kernel
virtual memory layout, register usage, call frame layout, and signal
handling idiosyncrasies by writing test programs in a line editor
using a weird proprietary C compiler.
