Win2k Telnet Server login issues (no XDM so gotta use something)

I gave up on using 'cmd.exe' and set the shell spawned by the
native Win2k telnetd to bash (using a wrapper to setup the
environment and prime the file descriptors as per the stdout/stderr
bug). This works well and is adequate for the X-terminal session
establishment.

I have got word however that there is a working implementation
of 'xdm' on Win2K which deserves investigation...
