How to using Reflection X connect RedHat 9?

We want to use Reflection X to connect RedHat 9.
The telnet is OK. But it can not show the X login screen.

How can relection x show the login screen with X screen?

L.S.

just to get it working:

edit /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config file
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file:
* #any host can get a login window

Start xdm.

In Reflection X: XDMCP direct connection with the IP address of your RedHat server.

If this works, you'll have to check if these modifications are secure and so on, and make sure xdm starts at boot time.

Question: do you really need the X-login screen? Using Reflection telnet you can also start graphical programs. Try with xclock!
