You have to redirect your display and allow access via xhost
lookup you IP number using ifconfig
allow access using xhost school.edu
login using telnet like: telnet scool.edu
export display to your current IP number: export $DISPLAY
<IPnumber>:0.0
try running xterm like this: \xterm &
The \ is to avoid aliases
Still confused???, try having a look at:
