Running remote X apps



I am having problems running apps on other machines that need to use my
display.   I suspect that X is not configured to listen to the right kind
of sockets or something.

Here is the scenerio, my machine name is pandora, ip 10.1.2.1.  I telnet
into bravado (another linux machine) and check my DISPLAY.  I set it via:
	setenv DISPLAY 10.1.2.1:0.0

I then run "xterm &" on bravado.  I get an error message
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 10.1.2.1:0.0" 

I have tried "xhost +bravado", no luck.  I also tried "xhost +" as well on
my local machine.  No luck.  I used xauth as well.  
on pandora:	xauth extract file $DISPLAY
on bravado:	xauth merge file

I am obviously missing something basic.  Can you help me?

TIA,
/Duncan

Oh BTW: the solution needs to work for generic unix boxen.  I am working
with a number of solaris and sco boxen that I don't have admin control on.
The linux box above is for testing.  My local box is of course Debian
linux.
