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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
