If X is already going on the redhat box, just ssh in with the -X or -Y flags to the aix box and your display will be exported out via the ssh connection. Another option is to configure xdm (or gdm or kdm) to respond to network requests, then you can connect from redhat either from its gdm/kdm login screen, starting a new X session and querying the aix box, etc.

It depends on
- how the aix-box is set up
- what do you want

If the aix-box is set up to listen to XDCMP just go to a console (tty2 or so) and type "X -query ip-of-aix -once :1"
Your linux-box will start a 2nd graphical session showing you the login-screen of aix. After logging in you work with the IBM-supplied wm. Linux works like a Xterminal for you now.

If the aix box is not responding then act like "ph34r" suggested. This time you work from a grahpical terminal (xterm instead of tty2) and type "ssh -X -Y -C userid-of-aix@ip-of-aix " You're prompted to enter you aix password and you're looking to a korn prompt now. Now you can type aix-commands like "aixterm". You'll notice aix apps using your linux wm.
