Is there a way to access X via telnet?

Hello,
	There is a way, are you telneting in from X or windows?  There are
actually several ways.  First ways is exporting displays, the second is
VNC.  I am actually not sure which one you are talking about.
	Exporting displays, this is how I like to do it, is pretty easy.
If you are in X (telneting into a unix box from a unix box) on the box
telneting from you need to do an xhost +, then on the box you have
telneted into just do an xterm -display ip here:0 . That should pop an
xterm up on your're machine.  If your're on a windows box be sure to have
an xserver - there is a free one on metalab, although I haven't tried it.
I use exceed, a commercial xserver that works well for me.  Its the same
command after you have your xserver running on windows except you don't
need the xterm +.
	For VNC - there are many web sites dedicated to helping people get
it running.  VNC, isn't bad - I just don't use it often.

Hope thats a help,
Anthony
