I run the Xvnc package, there seem to be a few quirks about it, but if you set
it up right it works nicely. You can get an xindow session going on the 95/NT
machine, and it is indeed free. If you need info on where to get it, I'll dig
up the address. Actually I believe there is an rpm available now under
/contrib/hurricane on ftp.redhat.com. Let me know if you need any help with
the setup, although it's pretty straightforward.
