Hi, there I am using VAXstation 3100 running VMS to telnet RS/6000 running AIX. I try to start the xterm on the VAXstation3100. The command I used is % xterm -display lane:0 but I got the error message which is similar as following: ***************************************************************** aixtem: BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation Request code 1, minor code 0, serial #74 resource id -2 About ****************************************************************** I used the VAXstation 3100 to telnet another machine DEC2100, there isn't any problem at all. I can open an dxterm (similar to xterm). Can any one out there help me out this problem? Thank you in advanced -- hang

I suggest that you build X11R4 from MIT sources, using my patches (see ./contrib/ibm-rs6000.fix1 on expo.lcs.mit.edu). Then use the MIT xterm. This version of xterm displays on any machine running an X11R4 or an X11R3 server. Unfortunately, it doesn't have natural language support, but you're in Kansas, so this shouldn't matter to you. Aixterm has good natural language support. ____ \ /Dan Greening IBM T.J.Watson Research Center NY (914) 784-7861 \/ dgreen@ibm.com Yorktown Heights, NY 10598-0704 CA (213) 825-2266
