[ale] dxpc ???

[James P. Kinney III]

It's been a while since I set up dxpc, but I'll tell what I know and
remember from the man pages.

1. The DISPLAY variables are wrong
2. The sequence is backwards.


on office: export DISPLAY=firewall:0
on office: dxpc -f
on office: export DISPLAY=unix:8

on firewall: export DISPLAY=unix:0
on firewall: dxpc -f office

on office: xterm&

You will also need to allow X access on the office machine for your
firewall. The dxpc man page has pretty good sequence of how to do this.
