But the problem doesn't seem to be with the X server.  Remote and local 
xclients (other than the xfree86 ones) can connect and display with no 
problem.

There are also many users who have this problem but are not using Aventail.  
As well the local xclients can't even connect to a remote display (non 
cygwin/xfree86).  Also, eXceed  works with Aventail with no problems.

By your reasoning, telneting to port 6000 should also be stopped by 
Aventail, but it isn't.  If telnet can make a successful TCP/IP connection 
to localhost port 6000, why wouldn't the cygwin/xfree86 xterm?  This is the 
point that I would like explained.  What is telnet doing different than the 
X libraries?
