Before upgrading both my Mac OS from 10.1 to 10.2 and my XFree86 server, I was able to do the following: xhost +<remote-machine> telnet <remote-machine> on <remote-machine> I could do setenv DISPLAY <local-machine> and then X11 windows would pop up on my local machine. This seems to be broken now, though I can still do ssh -X (the preferred method) to get X11 forwarding in most cases. The problem is this: one of the machines I need X11 forwarding from is an old DEC Alpha running Open VMS 7.3 . For whatever reason, it does not support ssh logins, and probably will not for the near future. So, I need to get X11 forwarding over telnet to work. Any suggestions? I have already checked my firewall settings.
