[lug] remote xterm question...

[Mr Viggy]

Nothing free, I don't think.  There is XWin32, but that's not free 
(http://www.xwin32.com/).  It's basically your ol' remote UNIX display, 
but on a Windows client.  I've used it at a previous job, and it's 
pretty darn fast.  But, again, it's not free.

I don't know of anything else.  VNC works for me, but then again, I'm 
going from Linux to Windows, not the other way around.

Sorry.
