getting a DISPLAY from another client

Hi guys,
I am new, but my question seems a little difficult so maybe you can help me. I am wondering if it is possible to get the DISPLAY from another client to trouble shoot problems they are having. My friend is a Linux admin. and he said to just export their display and I have tried that but it doesn't do exactly what I want. I want to be able to see what is on their screen and fix their problems from my desk. I am a Unix Admin but am new to the game so any help would be appreciated. At work, we use with SCO Open Server. I was looking into VNC, but I haven't been able to find it for SCO. Does anyone know any other way to get what I am looking for or any other programs that would do it for me. In Windows, the Gateway technicians do it all the time from their remote locations but how can it be done in Unix?

Thanks guys.

NAME

       mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).

       The  size-in-blocks  parameter  is  the	desired size of the file system, in blocks.  If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be
       used.

OPTIONS

       -N     Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512).  If nothing is specified some default number	in  the  range	48-512	is  picked
	      depending on the size of the partition.

       -V volume-label
	      Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -F fsname
	      Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used.

       -v     Be verbose.

EXIT CODES

       The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
