You need to set the DISPLAY variable on the remote machine to point to the XServer you want to use - This requires that the remote machine knows a route to your internal network (this in turn requires that you can route from your PPP to your internal net etc) and that your XServer is configured to allow requests from the remote machine. As said by others - most PPP connections will be slow for X. I regularly use 64k and 128k leased lines for routed X traffic - 64k can be extremely tedious with long scrolling lists - 128k is just bearable with such lists (I get round this by configuring the app to give me what I want at the top of the list!).

I have X-Terms throughout my house. I would like to be able to run X programs, across a PPP conection, to my employer's system. I can do this, but only from the terminal on the CPU running Linux. Can I run remote X programs from my X-Terms?
