Since the X Window protocol is defined to work over any TCP/IP network, X terminals connected to the Internet can be connected to hosts located anywhere on the Internet.</p> <p>Personal computers (including both PCs and Macintoshes) can execute programs, usually called X servers, that make them act like X Window terminals and are frequently used as X terminals.</p> <h2>Notes</h2> <dl> <dt>Terminology</dt> <dd>The terminology used to describe processes associated with X terminals can be confusing. An X terminal is also known as an "X display server," and the program running on the host computer is usually known as the "X client."</dd> </dl> </body> </html>
