Hongwu,
Assuming your problem is just to get graphics over a network you can
probably use an xserver. This works for looking at TOF data collected at
the ISIS source in the UK, which also uses VAX computers. In that case you
connect with a telnet and utter the magic words:
"set display/create/trans=tcpip/node=your.ip.address", sometimes appending
":0.0". When you try to run a program which uses graphics you need to make
sure an xserver is running on your PC/mac and the pictures might appear.
The difficult part is getting hold of a free xserver for a PC/mac, you
could try MI/X. The URL to download MI/X from MicroImages' is
http://www.microimages.com/ in the "Free Downloads" section.
Hope this helps,
Jon Wright
