Sue,

There is another way to possibly get X11 forwarding working, although I can't 
promise that this is not disabled too.

Try (on your local machine)
$ xhost +localhost
$ ssh -R 6010:127.0.0.1:6000 username at remote.host

Note: The above line must have 127.0.0.1, not just 'localhost'.

Then, on the remove host:
$ export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
(or whatever is right for the shell on your remote host)

$ xterm

If the above works, you are in business.  If not... well, it was worth a try.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
