PlanetX from InterCon is an X-Window CLIENT program, NOT a server program. 
It allows a user to remotely operate a Macintosh from any X Window System
server. I believe this is just the opposite of what you need.

I don't know what you (or whoever told you) mean by "doesn't communicate
with Ultrix". We have been using MacX version 1.1.7 and 1.2 as an X-server
to some DEC RISC/Ultrix machines (5000/200 and 5000/240) for awhile and they
work fine.
