Thanks as usual to super-sysadmin Casper Dik. No one else responded
on this, but he had the right stuff.

Original question:
>I'm trying to use dtmail remotely from a remote Solaris system to

>tried both with DISPLAY set to myhost:0 and via ssh (DISPLAY set
>to remotehost:10.0), and always get this error:

> Try starting /usr/dt/bin/dtsession, or contact your System Administrator.

>dtsession *is* running. I have tried remote hosts from Solaris 2.5.1
>to 8, with no change.

He said I needed to do two things: copy ~/.TTauthority to the remote
host, and apply the ToolTalk patches as necessary. Those patches
are (for SPARC machines):

        Solaris 2.5.1 104489-11
        Solaris 2.6 105802-12
        Solaris 7 107893-07
