Re: remote usage of cygwin via microsoft telnet services

Don't use telnet.  Use ssh.  Cygwin's sshd is fully functional.  If you
must use telnet then use Cygwin's inetd.

If you want to use X apps remotely you need to be running an X server on
the remote machine and have your DISPLAY environment variable set.  The
latter is taken care of for you if you use ssh with the -X option.  Go
read any faq about X Windows.  And this applies to X apps only, not
native windows apps.
