For remote desktop connections: FreeBSD -> FreeBSD: ssh with X11 forwarding (-X or -Y options, see manpage). FreeBSD -> Windows: rdesktop (/usr/ports/net/rdesktop). Works beautifully for work. Can't recall which, but some games don't seem to like it. Windows -> FreeBSD: freeXer and PuTTY with X11 forwarding enabled. Kind of interesting to have my FreeBSD desktop apps on my wife's lappy at the breakfast table ;-). With this setup, Windows actually is the "window manager" --- kinda disconcerting at first glance :-D Kevin Kinsey -- Condense soup, not books!
