Hi
we do something similar here too. We run 3 Linux boxes all with X11
on it and have oodles of Win95 machines running a product called
XWinPro/32.
Its very (*very*) fast and can support many features, font sets and
so on.
Its only AUD $100. (email sales@heberhardt.com.au) for more info,
We basically just made entries in the /etc/hosts file for each
x-server and did
ip-address xtp
and off it goes.
