We have the full X11R4/OL distribution from ATT.  I checked.
Sorry, Bucky, looks like trouble.

XSelect() is found in Xstreams.c.  Does that give it away?
ATT put a fair amount of work into porting X to the SVR3/4
environment.  A streams interface is one of their contributions.
I guess that they haven't given this to MIT.  

I understand that the sources to the full distribution are expensive.
What you might want to try is to get a binary distribution from
an ATT dealer (if you can find one, or try their 800 number), and go
from there.  This would also get you their server, which I suspect
would be a lot better than the generic port.
