MacSLIP + MacX Problems

Hi -
	I'm running MacSLIP in (from TriSoft) across a compressed 9600 line
(Prometheus Modem) - For the most part it works very well, I've been able
to
successfully use many programs like MailStrom, NCSA/Telnet and Nuntius
(at this
very moment in fact).  All in all, I am very pleased with MacSLIP+MacTCP
operations.

	But, MacX 1.1.7 seems to be giving me some problems - I can install and
run MacX fine - no error messages.  I can start up an xclock client - it
works.
I can also start up twm and have my windows managed from a remote process
(not
that I want to do it every day, but it works).  But I cannot sucessfully
run
a xterm or xwsh (I run the client processes on a SGI).  The client
connects,
is visible, but typing into the window does not produce characters.  I've
tried
different fonts and different client programs, but none seem to work.

I can watch my modem xmit/recv lights - when I type they flash - both
xmit and
recv so it seems that there is two way communication.

And I've been able to install and run the same version of MacX across
localtalk
through MacTCP+Fastpath to the same client hosts at work.

The only thing I can think of is that my system KCHR is hacked to swap
Control
and CapsLock.

Has anyone seen this kind of problem with MacX? Is there something I am
missing?

	Thanks for any help.
