Re: [TCLUG:8994] X over SSH thru IPMasq

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

Good question.  eXodus now makes some sort of commercial (java-style or
web thing) as it's win32 X.  The copy I have is several years old, but
still does the trick.  A freeware variant is VNC which enables people to
view X on Windows and Windows on X.  It's not very efficient, and could
raise a number of security issues, but it's free.  I've been playing with
it for a while now.  In any event, here's a link and some links to a few
other similar products:
VNC (free): 	http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
EZ-Win ($$):	http://www.terainc.com/
