Why this port? The default port is 177.

I can't find any hint which address was sent to xdm. But the "session declined"
is similar to some errors with win95 we had some time ago. Can you please 
get http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/ls_netdev.tar.gz, extract it and
send me the output of ls_netdev-w95.exe?

I guess the is a local display configured in /etc/.../xdm/Xservers
