This is the second posting of this question this week. Does that make it 
'Frequently Asked'?

On ISC (2.0.2 for me), when running X386 (1.1a for me), I need to link in
libinet.a to get the Socket API and -lpt to get the clone devices (for lack
of a better term) API.

In summary: Use the following link libraries in all X programs that use X386
(aka Roell X11R4):

  -lX11 -linet -lpt

Note that the -linet and -lpt must come AFTER -lX11, which of course should
come after -lXm, -lolgx, -lXt or other associated libs.
