Thanks for all the answers. I spelled DISPLAY correctly, but I still
have problems

[lpc2~]$ setenv DISPLAY niels:0.0
[lpc2~]$ gv

(gv:26655): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: niels:0.0

I fired up etheral, but I don't really understand what I am getting.
I am recieving packages that look like this

Telnet Data
39365 > x11 [SYN] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=3143854209 TSER=0 WS=0

I am sending packages that look like this

TELNET DATA
32941 > telnet [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=1460 Len=0 TSV=10240824 TSER=3143853971
x11 > 39365 [RST,ACK] seq=0 ack=0 win= 0 len=0

I know that SSH is insecure, but as part of my job I have to use a
programs on machines that do not have SSH installed (or no forwardx11
set in the config file). Everything is happening on a well secured
intranet, so I am not afraid.
