Try this from 192.168.0.1
----------------------------
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0
xterm
----------------------------
That assumes BL3 is at 192.168.0.2

Are you sure that's telnet, not ssh?

ssh does not need the "export DISPLAY", telnet does
(especially the primitive telnet in BL3).

The other alternative is to run xdm (or equivalent)
on 192.168.0.1 with the BL3 address as a client.
Then, when the BL3 machine brings up Xvesa -ac, it
will automatically be found by xdm. That could take
20-30 seconds, depending on how often xdm polls its
clients.

Cheers,
Steven
