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?
