You should be running x on the machine with the screen (the X server,
since it provides windows a person can look at). On the headless
machine, you just want to run clients, pointed at the server.

xhost is to add other computers to the access list of a running
X server. The xhost command you wrote doesn't make sense as (1) you
have to have access to add another computer to the list (you can't
just add yourself), and (2) it should be xhost + <address/name of
computer running xterms, etc>.

If MI/X has no security turned on, forget the xhost stuff.

Just run Afterstep on the NetBSD box, with DISPLAY pointing at the box
running MI/X.

Take care,
