Chris, can you telnet to the Linux box when you are not running X? Also,
when you are running X on your OS/2 box, are you running the window
manager on the OS/2 box, or logging into the Linux box running XDM, or
another GUI login on the Linux box? Last question - are you running a DNS
server (bind) on your network, or do you have the OS/2 box listed in
/etc/hosts on your Linux box?
