You don't launch X on your server and have it display on your Windows box.
You launch an X server on your windows box. Then, when you launch an X
client program on your Linux box, you tell it to display on the server on
the Windows machine. Some clients you can tell where to display on the
command line. A more general solution is to set the DISPLAY environmental
variable.
You need a telnet client. One comes with Windows.
You need an X server. There is a list of Unix ports to Windows on the NT
Emacs web page, at
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html#other-tools. I use
the server provided by MicroImages, see www.microimages.com.
I usually log in to my Linux server using the telnet client, then set the
DISPLAY variable like so:
export DISPLAY=charlesc:0.0
then run an xterm, like so:
nxterm &
And away you go.
