Howdy,

I just installed eXodus for Windows, which is the White Pine product
mentioned above.  I'm not sure how well it compares to eXceed, but it
installed without any fuss and works like a charm.  

In fact, I'm running this using an xterm on my Win95 machine.  It set
everything up to use my regular window manager, in this case fvwm.
With the exception of access to my Windows applications, and a
*slight* delay, I may as well be on the Linux box directly.  It's
great.

I don't have any connection to White Pines, but I have only recently
installed Linux and I'm pleased that this part of the process went so
smoothly. Now if I can just get IP masquerading to work. ;)

Hope this helps.
