nam is an X Windows application.  If your PC runs an X server,
then you can run nam remotely and have it opens the display on
your PC.

Are you running an X server on your PC?  If you are not, you
need to find one.  From ITS, you can download XWin:

    http://www.usc.edu/its/doc/internet/xservers/xwin32/5.2/index.html

Alternatively, you can run nam when you are on campus.

If you are running an X server and you ssh'ed to nunki and
you are getting this error, you need to enable X11-forwarding.
For example, if you are running cygwin, you need to run ssh
with either the -X or -Y commandline option.
