   I have an Ubuntu server with GNOME GUI/X11 installed.   
      
   I would like to be able to connect from a MS Win XP system running a client    
   to the Ubuntu system perhaps running the GUI...not strictly telnet with    
   25x80 char terminal emulator.   
      
   Since even telnet connections are not being made, I need to know how    
   firewalls are controlled/checked or set.  The desktop has no interface to    
   configuring servers, so I can do it through a shell (bash), but I need to    
   know what commands to enter, files to check.   
      
   The titles/names to necessary/relevant man pages would be nice, then I    
   could find out how to configure this.   
      
   I can live with using telnet with 25x80 term emulator, but something like    
   Remote Administrator is nice, which runs only on Windows and runs a server    
   mode app on the one host and a client mode host on the other, and draws a    
   nice desktop.   
      
   One more thing:  I need to configure any server deamons to listen to port    
   numbers higher than 10000, since the organization's firewall pretty much    
   blocks any port service headers below that arbitrary boundary (and I have    
   no idea why...1024 would seem smarter to me).
