Should be easy. On Exceed, you must do this or the equivalent:
# xhost +
And on the linuxbox, this:
$ export DISPLAY=boxwithexceed:0
$ xclock
or
$ netscape
Instead of going to the linuxbox on foot, you can telnet to it
from Exceed. Then do the export, xclock, netscape, etc
from the telnet window.
PS: the W95 telnet is crappy. Use the one from Exceed,
or a nice one called 'simpleterm'.
