You have to configure a X11 XDMCP session on the VXT. In this mode
the VXT requests a X11 login from the remote host. You need a XDM
on that remote host. (That XMD doesn't need to service a local 
Xserver like it is usual for wokstations. It just needs to sit there 
and listen for a indirect / remote query.) See xdm(1). 
The options to configure this type of session are buried somewhere
in the VXT setup menues. (Press F3 to get the setup window.)

You should know that all data in this type of Xsession is transfered 
unencrypted. Someone may be able to sniff the characters that you 
type in your Xterms, characters like
su -l
So you want do this only in a "trusted" network environement.

Of course, the VXT 2000 was long "obsolete" bevore ssh became en vogue.

NetBSD does not run on the VXT 2000.
