Of course, there is that 417MB little thingy called "Cygwin", available for free from http://www.cygwin.com. It has telnet, ssh and X11 server. It also has bash, ksh, perl, gcc, vi, sed, grep, awk, find and a few other things as well. It is one heck of a download, but it works great. It turns a Win2K box into a Unix workstation. The best thing is that you have both at the same time and that you can cut and paste from X11 to notepad and vice versa.
