- I'm trying to get a Macintosh running MacX to act as an HP-VUE terminal
- across the network to our Model 730 workstation and I need some help. The
- Mac is hooked up to our network via an Appletalk connection and thus
- appears on the ethernet network via dynamic addressing so I do not have a
- fixed IP address for this machine. My problem is how (and whether) it is
- possible to use MacX in this configuration. From my reading of the HP X
- manuals, I understand that in order to get a remote terminal, acting as an
- X terminal server, to use HP VUE services I must pay attention to three
- files: inittab, Xservers and Xconfig. Yet in the description of the
- Xservers file it seems to indicate that I must record the actual address or
- name of the remote terminal (which is dynamically determined). How can I
- get around this? I also admit to being unsure what to put into the second
- field of the record in this file (DisplayClass). Any advice or help would
- be appreciated. I am (obviously) a novice in the world of X.
