Yes. You have to have an X-server and an X-client running. I'm not 100% on
this, but I think that the linux box in this case would be the client and the
Win95 station would be the server. The server handles your input, serves it to
the client on the linux machine, the client there processes the input and outputs
info which the server uses for display. Without running Xserver software (like
Exceed or X-WinPro) the Win95 station will not know how to recieve and display
the data from the client.
