LOL!
I have sparc 5 /20 and ultra1 at home, but at one time I used to have even more sparc10, sparc2 very old sun ipc/ipx boxes and one time I nearly wanted to bring home an E3K to start a museum until the woman started screaming and I had to give most of it away sigh ....
Anyway your problem could be due to some environment setting. if you hookup your server to your lan network or crosscable You should be able to telnet in normally. If you can do that you can try to check the server .dt/startlog for more clues
check your .cshrc files make to see if there is such an entry that says
setenv DISPLAY `uname -n`:0.0
The above entry is known to cause logon issues.
I also read from somewhere that adding "xhost +" in the following
file: $HOME/.dt/sessions/sessionetc may improve the problem.
good luck.
