MacX, AppleTalk-DECnet Over ARA and Zone Problem (11/93)

I'm interested in doing DECWindows emulation with MacX 1.2 in a PowerBook
180c running System 7.1, connected to a VAX (VMS 5.5 with PATHWORKS for
Macintosh v1.1) through AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA). The problem arises
when trying to connect by using the following Host definition in the
XWindown command:

Tool: AppleTalk-DECnet Tool v1.1
Gateway: DECnet on VMAD01 (VMAD01 is the DECnet name for the MicroVAX)
Service: VMAD01 (we want to connect to this node)
ADSP entity (as seen in the tool dialog): Kiko:X11@SPA Servidores

When the command is started the msax$client DECnet object starts and fails
in finding back the PowerBook 180c node. The reason is that the string
arriving at the VAX with the ADSP node address is "Kiko:X11@*" as I can see
in the netserver.log file which is shown below:

$ ! Copyright (c) 1987 Digital Equipment Corporation. All rights reserved.
$ IF "" .NES. "" THEN NETSERVER$COMMAND
$ IF "" .EQS. "" THEN NETSERVER$VERIFY = 0
$ V = F$VERIFY(NETSERVER$VERIFY)

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

Obviously if the ARA server and the VAX are not in the same AppleTalk zone,
therefore the node Kiko:X11@* cannot be reached by the VAX.

I have checked by selecting the "Remote Only" icon in the network control
panel and I have the same problem.

On the other hand if MacX 1.2 is open, and by using terminal emulation I do
the following in the MicroVAX:

$SET DISPLAY/CREATE/USER/TRANSPORT="ADSP"/NODE="Kiko:X11@SPA Servidores"
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:VUE$MASTER

a new XWindow client opens in the Macintosh, which means that everything is
working from the connectivity point of view.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known bug of MacX 1.2 or the
AppleTalk DECnet Tool? Is there any work around for this problem?
