XWindows was designed around Unix.  Just set the DISPLAY environment
variable at the command (telnet) prompt before starting the program that
uses X.  The format is host:session where session is usually 0.
e.g. DISPLAY=192.168.1.5:0

If the X command gives a display fail error, you need to use xhost (man
xhost) to allow a connection from the remote computer.

I have been using VNC.  A tad clunky, but works well and the price is right.

Subject: [expert] Xwindow


Does anyone know of a Xwindow program that I can use to Xwindow from one
Linux box to another.  Right now I can use Exceed on Windoze and run a
xsession to my Linux box.  I want to do the same from one Linux box to
another.
Thanks,
Dave
