Jason :

There are no free Win32 X servers I've ever seen.  MI/X used to be but no
more.  There is a fantastic little product called WierdX ( it's on
freshmeat.net ) which is a JAVA based one.  It's a little slow but has some
nice features including:
    *     X desktop or seemless windows
    *     rsh to run stuff I think

It's worth a look.  The best I've seen.

Jeff
