I would like to login to the University of Winnipeg's mainframe, with an X window interface, from my personal computer at home. Up to now I have just been logging in with telnet ( in text mode).
2 ways come to mind - SSH in from your machine to the UofWs. X-tunneling (if they've allowed it) will let you run X clients on their machines, but be displayed on yours.
- Telnet in. Set $DISPLAY to your ip:0.0 and then run an X client, ie
mybox$ telnet uofw blah blah uofw$ export DISPLAY=my.ip.address:0.0 uofw$ xterm &
Or are you looking for an XDMCP login?
