Hi all,

I'm having a sopt of bother getting my DEC Alpha Unix server to recognise
my NCD X-terminal.

System Specification:
	 DEC Alpha Unix v4.0 - OSF/1.
	 NCD 17c X-Terminal which uses XDMCP.

Once the NCD X-terminal is started, the login Chooser has the Alpha's server 
name in it's window, but when selected give the message:

	"cannot obtain database information on this terminal"

as the Xaccess file contains the factory default settings, which basically
sets it up for any/all terminals I'm a bit puzzled. can anybody help me.
I would be greateful for any suggestions/recommendations you could give.

If you post a reply here, could you email me as well as I intend to post
all recoendations/suggestions back to this news group.

Thanks in advance.	email: tonyh@vax.sbu.ac.uk
