I would like to run an X client on a UNIX computer and have it display
on a VAXstation 3100 running VMS 5.3.  I get the message "Error:
Can't open display" when I attempt to do this.  Can anyone tell me
what is wrong?

On the UNIX computer (a VAX), I type: 

xtest -display lismm6

xtest is the name of the client; lismm6 is the VMS VAXstation 3100.
On the VAXstation 3100, under the Security menu of the DECwindows
session manager, I have set: 

node: crg     username: *   transport: tcp/ip

crg is the name of the UNIX computer.  I am using Multinet for tcp/ip.
I have also tried setting username to my account name (chapman) to no
avail.  I have also tried using internet addresses rather than the
computer names; again, no luck.

I anyone can help, I would sure love to hear from you!

thanx,
