I have an Intel workstation (a 386-based beast, I believe) sitting on my
desk running X10.4 on (groan!) System V.

I would like to be able to create X windows on its display, from our 8800
("maxwell") running 4.3BSD (or any other host, for that matter).  No big
deal, I hear you cry; use xhost.  Alas, I don't have the xhost code for my
machine. I tried editing the /etc/X0.hosts file to include maxwell's name (and
when that failed, its IP address), but to no avail: xterm'ing from maxwell I
still get a 

        xterm: no such display server micon2:0
or
        xterm: No such display server 128.2.236.158:0

although the X server _is_ running on the workstation.

(and yes, I've setenv'ed the DISPLAY on maxwell to micon2:0, the IP
address:0, and anything else I can think of)

Question: why is this happening? Has any poor soul out there with a system V
machine had this problem and solved it?  Can anyone suggest any reason for
this antisocial behaviour on the part on micon2, or should I trade it in for
a Commodore 64 or steam-powered abacus?  HELP!

This may or may not be a stupid question; however, I have RTFM'ed without
success, and a successful answer would make an upcoming demo MUCH happier:-)

(please mail rather than posting - I'll summarize responses to the net)

Thanks in advance
