X-server to Windows 2000 client?

[Derek Neighbors]

David,

I assume you mean a NON FREE XServer.  In which case unfortunately I can 
not agree as I dont consider non-free software usable for business.  

If indeed you do mean free Xserver please do give me the link as it would 
possibly solve an issue for someone else.
