How do you get remote X to work with 5.1-RELEASE?

Here is an attempt with some fields blanked out.

$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
$ telnet ______
Trying ___.___.__.___...
....
....
tlt at ______> xterm
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: ______.______.___:0.0
tlt at ______> 

The errno man page says errno 61 is connection refused.  There is no
firewall or anything on the laptop running 5.1-RELEASE on a local subnet.
It is a fairly generic install except I had to recompile with OLDCARD.

TIA
