Actually, when Xremote is being used, there are three components: the
client, the server, and the terminal.  Nothing special happens on clients
(the machines that execute the application programs).  The terminal is an X
terminal or PC that dials up to the server (a workstation or minicomputer)
on which the user runs the Xremote server.

In other words, you'd like a workstation to be an Xremote terminal.  As far
as I've heard, there's no implementation of the Xremote terminal for
workstations.  The protocol has been licensed to some PC X server vendors
(e.g. Desqview/X).
