Maybe I am confused about what is server and what is client. Let me be more clear on my end so that I am sure I understand the responses.
I want to run a program on a Linux box, testing a piece of hardware connected to that Linux box. We then want to be able to remotely control that program on that Linux box from a computer running Windows 2000.
My understanding of the terms means that the Linux box would be the X server and I need an X client on the Windows 2000 box. Correct?
Possible solutions for an X client on the Windows 2000 box:
-VNC
-A commercial program like Exceed, X-Win32, HOBLink X11, etc.
-CygWin (I did not know it could do this!)
I will look at CynWin first.
We did not want to use VNC thinking that it is a bandwidth hog. Maybe I am wrong on that point. Is VNC less or more of a bandwith eater than and X terminal server and a client?
