I had been trying to use the DECwindow server running on a vax-station-2000 
(VMS) for remote clients running on other unix machines on the local campus
net (suns and convex). However so far I have not been able to do so. 
I did the following: 
	1. authorized these nodes to access server.
	2. used xauth to let clients be able to access the server.

All I get is "fatal xlib io error". 

Dec says that for clients from ultrix need some other programs that must be 
present with decwindows to allow proper communication. I have little idea.
Could it be that tcp/ip impementaion of decwindows is different from the one
on local convex/suns? It is very unlikely that only from ultrix with whatever
extra s/w one acn have remote access to decwindows and not from any other!

I shall highly appreciate any help on this problem.

Thanks.
