Use ssh for anything remote, or xon for local stuff.

Note that your command above is _much_ less efficient than 

 xterm -sb -sl 2000 -title freefall -e ssh freefall

... which will still let you run X programs on freefall, but runs the xterm
itself locally.  I cannot imagine running an xterm on freefall, with the 
2-4s RTT I have here 8)
