[comp.windows.x] Question: How to choose the host to login to from an Xterminal?

Hi folks,

Presumably there is a simple answer to this:

I have a bunch of NCD Xterminals. I want each one to display a login box
like this:

       host:
       username:
       password:

At the moment, each terminal has a login box generated from a
preassigned host, and it is uphill work trying to login directly to
another host without going through the original host.

Here are some more details of my installation, if that matters: I am
using NCD15b and NCD14c Xterminals (both fantastic machines), the hosts
are DECstation 5000/200PX's running ULTRIX 4.1 and stock-standard
DECwindows. Currently each Xterminal displays the DIGITAL logo and login
box generated from one of the DECstations.

Thanks for any help,
