    I seem to be having a
    few small problems getting clients on the cray to communicate with the
    server on my sun.

There are lots of 32-bit-isms and other wonders that cause problems on Crays
in both the R2 and (to a lesser extent) R3 sources.  Cray has been dutifully
fixing them and letting us know about them, for which we are grateful, and
R3 bug fixes will be incorporated into R4.  If you're trying to run a vanilla
MIT R2 on the Cray, good luck.  If you got it from Cray, you should be in much
better shape.

   If I obtain an official MIT distribution kit for X11R3 via anonymous
   ftp over the INTERNET, where can I get a full set of prior maintenance
   patches and where can I continue to obtain future maintenance patches?

Patches can be obtained via anonymous ftp to expo.lcs.mit.edu, in
/pub/R3/fixes/.
