I am having trouble -NXHost'ing an application from a client machine that is
connected to my network via slip.  (Yeah, I've heard it's really slow and
not worth the trouble; but I enjoy pain!)

I have Louis A. Mamakos' slip.  And the two machine that are connected are
both running 3.0 (one is a cube, the other a nextstation turbo).  When I 
start any application with the -NXHost option, e.g.

  /NextApps/Terminal.app/Terminal -NXHost slipserver &

I get the following familiar message:

  DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host slipserver

I have set the preferences (on slipserver) to be a public window server
and I have logged out and back in since changing the prefs.  I must be missing
something really obvious.  Has anyone ever tried to do this before?  Any help
is greatly appreciated.
