I tried doing this by the book, and I can never get it to work.

I used 'xhost +server.ip.address' on my machine
then 'setenv DISPLAY my.ip.address:0' in an xterm telnetted to the server
machine

then 'netscape' on the server machine (in the xterm running telnet)
I get a bit of a delay, then nothing.

I know telnet is not secure, but that is all the machine offers at the
moment.  It's an old Sun system at school.

What am I doing wrong?  Shouldn't I just see netscape open up and starting
running, just like usual, only slower?
