X11R4 under xenix 2.3.3

System: AT&T6386 running SCO Xenix 2.3.3 w/ streams and tcp/ip installed.
I am attempting to compile X11R4 using a combination of cc and gcc.
All is going pretty well if att is defined. Most of the distribution
compiled first pass. I'm down to only a few items to resolve in the lib
and xterm part. I've not yet considered the server but feel I have the
necessary tools (including Chain Lee's pcblit from a working MGR) to
contruct one at least at the console.
I have the LACHMAN/Convergent tcp/ip, the SCO streams and the streams
toolkit. I do not have any tcp/ip toolkit and from the net it seems that
this is essentially vaporware anyway.?
Currently, I am investigating the unresolved externals encountered thus far.
There are only 3 (there may be more in the sections looking for headers
from the att interlan/ directory).
grantpt()
unlockpt()
ptsname()
lib/X/Xstreams.c seems to be the defining part of the X streams interface.
It wishes to open a device /dev/ptmx. From reading the code and an AT&T book
entitled "Streams Programmers Guide", I believe /dev/ptmx to be a pseudo
tty multiplexer. Does anyone know for sure? Can anyone enlighten me as to
what pieces I'm missing and whether they are available somewhere?
Would I perhaps be better off attempting to implement the bsd networking
utilities on top of the SCO streams? (I have the bsd networking sources
from uunet.) Does anyone know a really hot networking hacker? I am a
competent C programmer but not very familiar with interprocess communications
or networking ala *nix (read as refugee from msdos).
Any tips, advice or direction would be appreciated.
