OK, maybe I'm using it wrong then.  If it's an X Server I should be able 
to run it on my G3 and have x-applications running my my Sparc direct 
their windows to the G3.  The recent copy I have doesn't seem to let me 
do that.  When I run it on my G3 it prompts me for a system to connect 
to, and if I respond with the IP address of my Sparc it give me a failure 
because it can't find the VNC component running on the Sparc. If I 
install that component on my Sparc and connect from the G3 what I see is 
whatever was directed on the Sparc to the VNC component running on the 
Sparc.

Can you enlighten me with how I can run VNC as an X Server in the same 
manner as MI/X or MacX runs?
