Now that I have Mouse-X up and running (thanks to the authors for a job
well done), is there any way that I can interface my NeXT here at home
with the VAXes at school? 

Specifically, I'd like to call up the VAX, and run X programs on their
machine. I can tell the VAX that I'm an xterm, and vi seems to work really
well. However, if I try to run an X program, I get a message about not
being able to open the display.

I was once told that X only worked over an ethernet line. I would hate to
find that that's true. 

Thanks,
