I've never come across a free X terminal for Windows. I've got a payola
one - Reflection from WRQ - and there's Hummingbird Xceed (and doubtless
many more). The WRQ one offers all sorts of other things like NFS mounts
etc. Personally though, if I need an X session, I use VNC. Does TightVNC
have a Linux server? I use vanilla VNC on mine where I need it.
