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?
