If you connect from the terminal to the server via ssh, and use the X11 forwarding of ssh, it does work, in my experience. the thing is that DISPLAY should either not contain a name part (so be just :0 or so), or if it contains a hostname or fully qualified domain name (foo:1, foo.some.dom:1), the name should be the hostname or the host.domain name of the machine on which you start drawterm, as reported by gethostname (foo.some.dom). see /sys/src/cmd/unix/drawterm/screen-x11.c:/^atlocalconsole Axel.
