I think you'll generally have to look for two different pieces, an X server
and an SSH client. A really good X server for MS Windows I've never seen.
My recommendation is actually to use VNC if possible, as the Windows VNC
software is pretty good. As far as the SSH client goes, I recommend SecureCRT
from Van Dyke Software (http://www.vandyke.com).

I didn't think that was possible. :-)

Sorry. If you want "free or really cheap", you shouldn't be running
Windoze. :-)

You actually did pretty good.

Combine Xwin32 with SecureCRT (or another SSH client) to get what you want.
