Telnet is something different then X. You dont Telnet in to an Xwindows
program.
 
You must have an X server on your local system, ( X-Win32, Excede,
etc... if you are on a windows system). If your local system is UNIX
then chances are that X is already installed and running.

In order to display a Xwindows program on your local system you must
execute it on the remote system and pass in the -display switch..
example:

xload -display your.IP.address:0:0

Before you execute the above command you have to setup your local
system to accept an Xwindows connection from the remote system.. This
is done for security purposes. ( man xauth or xhost command for more
information).

That's about it. If your local system is windows, then help files are
included with the above mentioned programs.
