The VT1000 will allow the user to set its IP address and subnet mask.
It will allow one to Telnet to a host, and it will allow one to start
X clients on that host (through the Telnet session). It will *not*
allow one to start up a window manager on the host to the best of
my knowledge (I just tried it with an HP9000/825).

Using DEC's LAT transport, it will allow the user to connect to a host,
and it will allow the user to start an X session with a window manager
running on the VMS or Ultrix host.

Hope this information helps. It's purely empirical.
