remote use of a sparcstation
I am away from my Unix sparcstation and need to work on it remotely via a
PC. I can open a PuTTy window and execute line commands. But I've
forgotten how to be able to work on a graphical program, like xfig. I know
there are some commands to enable this, but can't remember them.

Is putty capable? That's a terminal emulator, not an X client.

Failing that is the X service running on your server?

What error does it give you?

What I was asking didn't make any sense. I think my only easy
option is to buy a Mac :-).

So long as your companies lax security (assuming either you don't own the company, or it's your personal server) allows you to use your own computer to access its network... why now?!
