I guess the question in my mind is: do you need a GUI or not? If you don't
need a GUI, then you need some kind of terminal emulator that understands
SSH on the Windows boxen, or something like HostOnDemand that runs in a
browser and downloads the terminal emulator when needed.
If you do need a GUI (and with a COBOL back end, why?), then you need either
a VNC client or an X server on the Windows machines. If VNC, then you can
use the browser-based VNC client on port 5900 (which will eat CPU like crazy
on the mainframe side) or you have to install something on the Windows boxen
that understands X. There are browser-based X servers (remember, with X, the
SERVER runs on the Windows workstation), but they're all slow and somewhat
management intensive (as well as being CPU hogs).
The VNC client is a little friendlier in terms of network bandwidth than X,
especially if you have limited bandwidth to the client. A native SSH client
like PuTTY would be even lighter weight, although you get the fun of
deploying it.
