Note that there is a free XDMCP client on info-mac and some other mac
sites (see the info-mac hyper-archive at http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu
).  To use it, for example, start up MI/X, start up MacXDMCP, enter the
hostname to connect to, and hit `connect' in MacXDMCP.  The XDMCP host
will respond by opening x connections to the mac, which will be fielded
by MI/X.
