>Has anyone tried to use Virtual PC and Windows 95 on a Powerbook 
2400c?...

Have run SoftWindows 95 by Insignia on a Duo 2300 100mHz 56meg ram. It 
was very slow. Did run. Would only recommend it as a desparate way to 
operate one or two PC programs. Insignia dropped this line of work, so 
you might pickup a cheap copy somewhere.

Over a direct ethernet connection, I found it much better to use VNC, a 
free, Timbuktu / PC Anywhere style program. PC had to have VNC server 
software installed (not too difficult).

Citrix works fine, but requires a serious piece of work setting up a 
"Metaframe" Citrix server. Recommended solution for a group of users who 
need intermittent access to a PC.

Agree with Ralph Mawyer: Virtual PC 4.0.x needs a G3 and more than 
300mHz. Would describe Windows 98 as sluggish, but workable on at 400mHz.
