telnet clients don't let you run X sessions; they support command-line
sessions. To run X apps on your Linux host from your Win95 host, you need an
X server for Win95 (that is, an X display manager that actually runs on the
Win95 host -- only the apps that use X run on the Linux host). There are
some commercial ones around, but I don't know offhand of a freeware one ...
perhaps someone else does.
Once you have one, you'll need to set up a file on the Linux host called, if
I recall correctly, /etc/xhosts . This contains an entry that tells the
Linux host that it has permission to write X output to the X server on the
Win95 host.
If all this is running, you can then telnet to the Linux host from an xterm
(or Win95 equivalent) on the Win95 host and run X apps that will display to
the Win95 host.
Apologies for some vagueness here. I've done this many times with Linux
hosts in both roles, but I haven't used X on Win95, so I don't know the
details of the X server software for WIn95.
