hi,

What kind of terminal emulation you are using ? If you are using a putty terminal, you will only get SAM TUI, not GUI.

If you connect using reflection/X any X windows emulation, you will get GUI.

export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
xhost +

Then forget it; all you will have is the character-based interface. In order to use the X-Windows based GUI, you need an X Terminal or a PC-based X emulatator such as Reflection X or eXceed.

For a free X server you can use cygwin.

You'll typically install the 'base' first, giving you a nice Posix environment on Windoze and then run setup again to add the X11.

http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html

I just installed the X11 component on one of my system and thought it was not too evident how to actually start the server.
In the end I used:

bash$ /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat
startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

This was from a cygwin bash shell window.
/usr is a subdirectory in the root where cygwin is installed (in my case simply C:/cygwin )

hth,
Hein.

Have you tried VNC? You have to run the X server on HP-UX but then you can see your desktop anywhere, even in a browser.
