-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Jason, I had some luck with this using my cable modem and Exceed on my Win95 box at work. I'm behind a firewall, so the only way I could use X was through ssh forwarding. It was fairly straightforward to set up; all I had to do was initiate a login session through ssh/sshd and run the X apps with the -display command line option. You are using the environment variable, which is even easier. :) The only thing I can suggest is that you check the contents of /etc/X11/Xserver, and make sure that "Everybody" is set rather than the default of "Console." If you don't do this, remote X sessions won't be possible at all. Good luck!
