Yes.. xdm for sure.. man xdm.. I have set it up on unixware711 using the
chooser.. it was a little painful to figure it all out. The man page is
a good start though. You get a menu of all machines on your local-subnet

that box.. course.. its all running over the network.. I believe this was
originally for the Xserver machines, IE- boxes that just are Xservers nothing
else..
