- For X, you can use our dnxserver and dnxclient programs to bridge the
- gulf.
-
- You'd want to run dnxclient on a kinet node on the network the client
- is on. You'd want to run dnxserver on a kinet node on the network the
- server is on.
-
- The connection would end up looking like:
-
- /Xclient/ -TCP/IP-> dnxclient -DECNET-> dnxserver -TCP/IP-> /Xserver/
-
- dnxclient takes incoming X server display connections from clients and
- gates them via DECnet to a DECwindow display. In your case, you might
- want that output to be another TCP/IP host. So..., the dnxserver is
- run. dnxserver accepts DECwindow connections and gates the X protocol
- to a TCP/IP [or local unix] server display.
