telnet/rlogin (better not ssh)
export DISPLAY=IP-of-your-display:0
then start X apps
when i do this:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.100:0
xterm
first it tells me that export can't befound, I guess that is because it is a
built it.
So I added to my .profile the following
DISPLAY=192.168.0.100:0
export DISPLAY
Logged out and logged back in.
Alas no display variable
When i run xterm it tells me that there is not display variable.
Anyone with suggestions
Thanks

make sure to allow on your local display connecting X program -
man xhost
for lower speed connection
ssh -C -X yournetra
then run X apps
for lowest speed connection run VNC.
if your local display run windoze you probably have only the last choice.
i don't know if they are working X11 servers for windows.
