While you are connected via dialup, execute: 
--------
ifconfig
--------
You should see a block of information labled ppp0.
On the second line of this block, you should see
inet addr.  That is your local address.  To export 
an X display from a remote server to your local
screen, put that local address in your export DISPLAY 
command (which you enter on the remote server).
