Here's where you can get the MIX free X server for win95 or nt,

and apparently there is one for dos although I haven't tried it here;

Don't think there is a FAQ specifically for runing X apps in windows but
here's a few pointers to get you started;
(Taken from an old Linux Unleashed book)
You can log into remote machines by using the "xterm -display" option,
provided you have set up your Linux machine for networks. (standard
TCP/IP stuff, nfs is not necessary). The remote system must allow you to
open a display on its machine. This is done with the "xhost +" command
on its machine.
When you want to open an xterm on the remote machine, alma, run this
command: (open a telnet session and run this command)
"xterm -display alma:0.0 &"
good luck!
