I have an interesting problem on my hands. Someone wants to run X on a
wide area X.25 network that supports tli. Has anyone converted X11R4 server
and Xlib to support this or any other transport. From looking at the server
source it should not be too difficult at that end.

The MIT tapes have support for tcp, unix-domain and DECnet, all implemented
as BSD sockets. Did someone at DEC (or elsewhere?) implement a VMS DECnet
interface, or does the VMS version of X11R4 use a Berkeley sockets library?
If the latter, where can I get a copy of that library?

I know these are two completely different questions, but if you know the
answer to either or both, then please e-mail. I will post summary if there
is interest.
