I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but VNC might work for you. It's website is here: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ I used in the past with a Linux box. The machine I accessed it from, or ran the VNC client from, was a Win NT4 box. Hall

Cygwin has XFree86 with it, though I didn't get it to work. I usually use the demo version of XWin32. The older demo that I use allows 2 hours of use before you must quit the xserver and run it again. A while ago I saw a newer demo that only allowed for 30 minutes. Try searching on google for Windows and XServer. -D

You're looking for an X server. I don't know of any _good_ free X servers for Legacy MS Windows, though Mi/X is free, it fails the first criterion. Other vendor options: XWin32, by StarNet, is a reasonably priced (about US$125 per seat) X server that I've demoed. It's acceptable, and runs (as do many current X server products) in both full screen and locally managed mode. http://www.starnet.com/products/ Full screen projects a Unix desktop onto your local system, locally managed mingles your X applications with locally served applications -- they behave as though they were running from your local PC. Both modes support copy and paste between X and PC applications. A free 30-day time-limited demo is available for download. I've also used and would recommend the Hummingbird and Reflection X products (http://www.wrq.com/), though they are rather more expensive. Another approach, is VNC, for Virtual Network Computer. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ Screenshots: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/screenshots.html Rather than serve the X session on the PC, VNC maintains the entire session state on the server. A viewer application is run on the client, to display this image -- both native and Java clients are available. Cut and paste between local and VNC apps is supported. It's possible to close or move the client independently of the server -- you don't lose session state if your PC crashes, you can move the display among different workstations, and you can even export the entire session over the Internet (several ASP solutions are based on VNC). Note that when forwarding connections over an unsecured network you should tunnel through an appropriate protocol such as ssh or PVN. Instructions here: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html Advantages: portable, stateless, open, no X server required on client. Disadvantages: heavier server load, slower than X or native display, unsecured (though VNC can be tunneled through SSH). Cheers. -- Karsten M.
