If you want a nice way to allow your X terminals to get started, plus
provide automatic shutdown when the terminal is powered off, you
need XDMCP.  This is provided as part of R4.  The 2.1 release from
NCD provides XDMCP support.

If you aren't so lucky to have XDMCP support at hand, you can still use
R3 XDM.  There is one hickup in that xdm won't recognize a 
re-powered-up X terminal.  There has been a hack posted to the net
which fixes this.
