Subject: XFree86 over a network
I use a copy of Exceed that I got from ASU. Basically I setup the DISPLAY
variable on the *nix machine to be the IP/FQDN of the windows machine and then
any X app I run gets piped over the network to it.

in bash:
export DISPLAY=<ip>:0.0

in csh:
setenv DISPLAY <ip>:0.0

I believe that is the correct syntax.
