These options are available in Qemu version from where i got this
assumption... A minute ago i checked my DOS/Baslinux laptop, and what's
strange, these options are both here, along with XDMCP indirect query.

Output from Xvesa -h:

---------------

I am pretty sure I did not modify Xvesa's configuration in any way...
Yet those options appear in Xvesa's output.

---------------
~<#>Xvesa -query
Xserver: missing host name in command line
---------------

When I type in hostname or -broadcast option, output is blank X session
(same as if you'd type startxt or just X) and lots of errors:

Maybe Xvesa could work as XDMCP client for me, if I could get one of my
Baslinux boxes directly on my LAN (either with routed PLIP or ethernet
NIC).

As a note, output was captured with "nc -l -p 1234 -e /bin/sh" via plip
connection.
