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

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
