First, I want to thank everyone that has responded to my query
on communication between Sun and Xerox workstations.  From the
answers I've got this far the best solution seems to be a package
called XDE from Xerox.  The latest release (5.0 of Feb -87)
supports TCP/IP.  There are a few other options as well.  If
anyone is interested in my findings, send me mail and I'll
summarize.

There seems to be some confusion about the name "Big Ben" which
I used in my query.  As I understand it, "Big Ben" is a version
of (or a nickname for) the Xerox 6085 workstation.  Maybe it's
just a local marketing name, I don't know.  Anyway, I called
my local Xerox office asking for info on "Big Ben" and they
sent brochures describing the 6085.
