AT&T doesn't sell an X10.4 product.  The System V 3.2 for 386s will
have X11.2 (don't know if it's included or extra).  If the vendors you
got VP/ix and X10.4 from (Bell Tech??) don't work together, beat up on
them.  Actually, I'm not totally surprised - X wants to own the screen,
and VP/IX wants to parcel the screen out to DOS clones, and short of
running DOS in X windows, it's not obvious what a good solution is.
