I have since found out that my source is not so reliable. It
turns out that the Open Look stuff comes expecting to talk to the
Interlan TCP/IP driver via /dev/it (found in the Xconnections
file), and the Wollongong driver uses /dev/tcp instead. Changing
this around fixed everything.
Thanks to the several people who sent notes saying that this was
possible, and especially to Viet Hoang from AT&T Denver whose
several email notes helped us make it all work.
I love the net.
