The sample server doesn't generate XDMCP stuff unless you tell it to.  This is
because the usual way this server is started is by an xdm process running on
the local machine.

I use my VS2000 as an X terminal with XDMCP because it, like a Sun 3/50, is
pretty much unusable as a real computer anymore.  The server accepts command
line arguments to turn on XDMCP:

	X -query <xdm host name here>

This will cause the X server to continuously request management from that xdm
host.  If you'd like to only do one session at a time, you can add the -once
option as well.  The FM for the server describes these options in detail
(mit/server/Xserver.man).
