	Well, the IBM MIT server won't work due to the fact that it was written 
for the RT and PS/2.  It only supports the displays and display adapters that 
these machines support.  While the 6091 display is similar to the Megapel 
(5081) that would work on the RT, the display adapter is different.

	Without code to drive the display adapter, the rest of the server won't
do too much for you.  You can compile and run the X11R4 clients on the RS/6000,
and display them on any system running X11R4.

	For now, the only X server available for the RS/6000 is the AIXWindows
server that you can buy from IBM.  It is based on X11R3, with Display Postscript
extensions.

These opinions are my own.  I doubt IBM wants them.......
