I see no reason why not, eXodus (non-demo) worked fine with all the
X-clients I used, I used fvwm95 from a linux box, and various other
window managers from Sparc's & Irix boxes.
The easyest way to begin is as follow:
- Start your eXodus on the Mac, with the menus, allow to connect without
authorisation.
- get a prompt on the netbsd box and (assuming csh or tcsh)
"setenv DISPLAY myexodusmac:0" where myexodusmac = IP or name of the
mac running exodus.
- type on the netbsd: "xterm"
At this point an xterm terminal should appear on the eXodus-mac.
