Oh. Well, John. Your user will have to install an X-server on his machine. IIRC, there used to be a free beer version of M/IX for Windows, but as of version 2.0, it isn't. So, you can go with that -- or MicroX or Exceed or hope that the XFree on Windows project ships something soon.
Once your user has installed an X-server on his machine, and configured it to accept connexions from your telnet server, you can tell any X-clients on the telnet server to use the user's X-server as a diaplay.
