Thanks,
ssh -X works
but the colors are really pathetic!
You will find that the XFree86 4.3.0 handles PseudoColor much better.
You can download and install the first release candidate of 4.3.0
following directions at
<http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.99.901/Install.html>. Of course, 8 bits
of color will never look as good as 24 bits. However, XFree86 4.2.x
had a known bug which caused it not to swap virtual colormaps
correctly.

When I connect to to my work using SSH I use 'ssh -X' which allows
X11 forwarding through the secure tunnel. In my case I have to do
it twice like a stepping stone. When you are connected to your
desired host there is no need to do a 'setenv DISPLAY ....' as the
ssh command takes care of it for you. If you manage it you end up
being 'unsecure' as the X11 path back is not encrypted.
Since you are going to use Cadence you may have trouble as it only
wants 8-planes of pseudo-color. I saw in a previous post that X11
for MacOS X will not do this for you but Xdarwin will. Xdarwin is
what I currently use. I set the options for 8-planes of colour and
have to go to full screen mode for cadence. Any other X11 app can
run in rootless mode.
Good luck.
