There are at least two free ways - one is to use Oracle's VNC software
<http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc>, which offers all kinds of interesting
facilities - not only can you use a W95 machine as a (sort of) X server,
you can also use 'vncviewer' (there is a port and also a KDE version) as
an X client on your FreeBSD box to drive your W95 machine. The former is
slowish but bearable, the latter really too slow to be anything other
than an interesting toy.

<http://tnt.microimages.com/> have a freely available X server. If my
memory serves me right, this gives you a somewhat faster 800x600 server.
