Hopes this helps:

   $ man Xserver
   ...
   XDMCP OPTIONS
  X servers that support XDMCP have the  following  options.
  See  the  X Display Manager Control Protocol specification
  for more information.

  -query host-name
  Enable XDMCP and send Query packets to the  speci­
  fied host.

  -broadcast
  Enable  XDMCP and broadcast BroadcastQuery packets
  to the network.  The first responding display man­
  ager will be chosen for the session.

   ...
   $

/Karl

 I want to set up an old Pentium 120 as an X terminal, to log in remotely
 on my desktop. I have read some documentation, and figured out that one
 of the ?dm packages does the serving, but I cannot figure out what to do
 on the client to make it ask for a login with XDMCP. Can anyone point me
 in the direction of a package or some docs?
 
 Thanks,
 Hugo van der Merwe

Replying to myself, for the others that were wondering, after some help
and some looking around on the web, I noticed there is actually a XDMCP
HOWTO (part of the LDP Howto's, means that all up-to-date woody or sid
Debian installations that have the Standard packages will have at
least a plaintext version it, /usr/doc/HOWTO). Since March, it seems.
