but I never found enough of the server side of Layers
It should be in many of the various SVR3 releases and most of the SVR4s. I know those can be run in virtual machines of various kinds these days, and the distros are not exactly hard to find. There's even a guy working on a 3B2 emulator which obviously should have it. Might have to find that emulator and crank up the old Dell SVR4 and see if they'll talk.
I am fascinated by these less traveled roads of computing.
You might check out the MGR windowing system. It's an 'inspired by' doppelganger of layers. Ran on SunOS and some other old Unixen, as well as the Atari ST and others I forget. Source code is out there.
Those were very impressive machines. But sooooo expensive...

Still are on both counts.
