I am using Cygwin to connect to my Linux box for News and Mail. It works great! I wrote a batch file similar to the one created when cygwin x was setup that runs the Xwin -query ipaddress. I just click a shortcut icon from the w98 desktop and I get the xdm login for the Linux box. The linux box becomes a window on the w98. The only problem I have had is accidently closing the cygwin window instead of the linux app window. VNC may be more elegant (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/), but Cygwin is definitely worth a try before you buy a fancier Xserver for windows like winaxe or omni-x.
