You need to be running a local xWindows x11 server application on your PC. There are several available out there but the most common free ones I have seen listed here are CygWin (select the x11 options when installing) and Xming. A non-free ones I have seen listed here is Hummingbird Exceed.
On the PC you have to have the xWindows server app running so that your Linux box can send the screen, keyboard, and mouse control to the PC. In Cygwin (on the PC) you run the command "xhost +" to start the xWindows server accepting connections. You then have to have the DISPLAY environment variable set to the IP of your PC (in your telnet/ssh session to the Linux box do "export DISPLAY=10.10.3.4:0.0") If you have been running Remedy for a long time then think back to the 4.x license administration (on Unix servers), it worked the same way.
