You need to run an X-server on that PC running Windows. It doesn't matter if
there is one running on your Debian box in this case. I don't know if
procomm32 provides an X-server, but I assume not. Try the one that comes
with Exceed (commercial) or X-Win32 (commercial too, but you can download a
trial version from Tucows).
