You probably want to use STREAMCONN.  Unfortunately, the version of
Xstreams.[ch] included in X11R4 is a very out of date version that does not
do networking properly.  You will need to rewrite this and any other OS
dependent parts.

If you are using a VGA type display card, you should use the x386 server
that has been discussed in this group.  I understand that it works well,
has decent performance, and is free.

The MIT server will not work on a VGA type display without major rewrites
of the display code, as the VGA is a bit-planar device.  The sample server
assumes a packed pixel frame buffer.
