Did you try something like this?

On "newdar":
     xhost +     # this is to allow newdar to accept X connections from any
       or        # other machine
     xhost newt  # to allow access only to newt

then telnet to newt:
     telnet newt                      # shell login
     export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   # set DISPLAY to newdar's address
     emacs &                          # if everything is ok xemacs should
                                      # popup or else you get std emacs
