Opening CDE Through Telnet

I'm using cygwin/x on Windows 2000 to access an HP-UX server. I wish to
use the CDE, which I currently achieve with the following:
- run startxwin.bat from Windows explorer;
- xhost <HP hostname>
- telnet <HP hostname>
- DISPLAY=<win hostname>:0.0
- export DISPLAY
- /usr/dt/bin/dtsession
This promptly pops up the CDE, but I feel it is a little clunky.
I am using this roundabout way as I am going through a firewall and
have access only for Telnet (port 23). Is it possible to access the
HP-UX server in a way that direclty pops-up the CDE with its logon box?
(incidently, I can do this when I'm on the other side of the firewall
using "xwin -query <HP hostname>, but this hangs from my current
location).
Thanks,
Simon.
