You will need an ssh client that can do X Tunneling.  I don't think Tera
Term Pro does this...in fact I don't know of any Windoze ssh clients that
can do this, though that doesn't mean they don't exist...I take that back,
I think fsecure's ssh client will do it...but it's kinda pricey (last I
checked).
