I can start X with no problems, using a font server (the machine uses an old
50Mb HPIB disk). But no way to use XDMCP, no -query, no -indirect, no -broadcast.

My workaround is to start an XTERM with a script that asks the login hosts and does an
rlogin on that host, in a way very similar to that of AIX 3 and 4 x_st_mgr for X-Stations 120.

Hoping an R6 (or an R5 XDMCP-capable) server will be out soon...
