It should be part of the MIT X11 subset.  I have it running on UWS4.0 with no
problems.  Don't know about 2.1, but there shouldn't be any difficulties.

    Jeff, could you please explain how you get xdm to work, reference materials,
    and especially, how to get it to work with the vt1000 ?
    Thank you.

It's been quite a while since I played with it, and I have given away the 
machine that was running it.  I'll tell you what I remember, which may or may
not be relevant to the vt1000.

You have to install the mit x11 subset.  You have to change the line in
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to point at your X server.  You need a file
$HOME/.xsession, in which you put commands to start all the things you want
to start when you log in.  It is equivalent to .X11Startup.  It is a sh script.
When your .xsession exits, xdm assumes that you have logged out, and recycles,
so the last thing in the script has to be a command that blocks until you log
out.  It is generally an xterm, which you log out of when you want to quit
the session.
