I've had pretty good luck with WRQ's Reflection X.  Don't know about price
comparison, but it's good enough for what I use it for.  (Xterms mainly).  I
am also using it on W2K and have used it on NT 4.0.

Last I checked, the company that gave away MiX no longer offered any free
software from their site.

Agreed that it's not very good, however.  Anything more than Xterminals
would GPF it, especially Netscape.  Almost instantly.
