 +[08] HOW CAN I RUN X11 APPLICATIONS REMOTELY FROM SDF?
  
 +     The following is meant to be a generic setup which should work on
 +     most UNIX systems.  If you have a non-UNIX setup, you might have
 +     to try some experimentation on your own or ask on the bboard.
 +
 +     First of all, you must have the following:
 +
 +     1.  Are you running X11R6 on your computer?
 +     2.  If you are firewall or NATed, do you have ports 6000-6063 open
 +         and forwarded to your computer's IP address?
 +     3.  Do you have an SSH client?
 +     4.  Do you have SDF MetaARPA membership?
 +
 +     If you answered no to any of these, you cannot proceed.
 +
 +     1.  Start your X11R6 server on your computer if you haven't already
 +         done so.  Type 'X' or 'startx' at your local shell prompt.
 +     2.  Type 'xhost +' at your shell.  
 +     3.  ssh -X -p443 YOURLOGIN@tty.freeshell.org
 +     4.  Once logged into an SDF machine, type 'export DISPLAY=$MYIP:0.0
 +         (Check that 'MYIP' is set, if it is not, then set it to your
 +         IP address or the IP of the NATing router.)
 +     5.  Type 'xeyes' and knock yourself out.
 +
 +     If you've run into any snags, double check your configuration.  If
 +     you still need help, then try asking for help on the 'bboard'.
