Probably a simple question, but I'm still learning...

We just purchased a few Visual X-19 X-terminals for a course, and I'm using
one of them in the meantime. I'm sure that the server firmware is pre-R4.
However, I would like to run R4 on our host. Should I expect any problems,
or are things compatible enough that it doesn't matter? I have sucessfully
compiled R4 sources on an Encore Multimax (on the first try - not even close
with R3) and have run most of the R4 clients without problem, with the
notable exception of xeyes, which dumped on a floating-point exception.

Any help? Thanx...
