I do that here, with an "xhost +192.168.nn.nn" in the shell after I've started x on this box, then "ssh -X -l username 'alias of machine'" to log into and run emc from here. For testing only since I can't see the machine, so stepper power is still off. I have got to get a camera with an ethernet server in it... and I have a higher resolution screen here than there.
