This summary is long overdue but I just recently was able to verify that the
majority of what I wanted worked. Thanks to those that replied and especially
Garrett D'Amore who was the closest to final resolution. I actually got the
solution from Sun's Help desk after many weeks.

SOLUTION:
modify /etc/syslog.conf on machine downstairs to reflect the name of my Xserver
then modify the /etc/syslog.conf on Xserver to send messages to my station. It
doesn't actually mail the problems, but rather posts them into my shells.
This is fine as I want to be aware of any problems as they occur.
Many suggested a program called Watcher, which is a fine program but does not
give you instantaneous responses to problems. It is something that is kicked
off by cron.
Thanks Again.
