Then apparently Wnn6 is different from Wnn4 at least in terms of
counting connections. With a similar setup, Wnn4 wnnstat reports use
of two sockets -- one for kinput2 (available in multiple kterm
instances) and one for Emacs. Wnn4 jserver does recognize the number
of _client_ connections.

Sorry, I wasn't clear about that. (Jserver uses 2227x/tcp, and X11
client connections have nothing to do with it.) The Omronsoft web page
simply says "single user, up to five connections." I was about to
purchase the single-user commercial license but didn't bother to learn
how their licensing scheme affected actual use -- whether I could run
jserver on one host and use it from another, what would actually
happen when I exceeded the number of connections, would preferred
conversions be lost beyond fifth connections, etc., etc.
