That depends on whether you are running an X server on your machine.
See http://www.starnet.com/products/ for an X server for Win32. If you
have a X server running on your machine you can do the following:
on the local machine type "xhost +remotehostname"
telnet to remote machine
type "DISPLAY=your.machines.ip.address:0.0"
type "export DISPLAY"
now try and run an xterm
NOTE: your session is insecure as hell. You are still better of using
ssh (and with most setups you don't have to specify the DISPLAY).
