I've never heard of anyone doing it that way, but I suppose
it's possible.  The normal way is to start X first and then
run telnet from an xterm.

You export DISPLAY from the system you are telneting to
and send it to the system you are telneting from.

You need to run an xterm on Xvesa.

Keep in mind that a serial link is a bit slow.  But it
does work.  I've used this method via my 33.6 internet 
connection to run an X application on a system in America 
and display the output here in New Zealand.

You can have windows from several different sources on 
your screen at the same time.  Whenever you log into a 
remote system, export DISPLAY to your local system and 
then run an X application, it pops up on your local X
screen (and is clickable with your local mouse).

Cheers,
