I have a UNIX machine in my office and a Windows-95 PC at home. A number of
UNIX-based programs such as X-View and Mathematica require the X-Windows

system at school. Works fine, but that's text only. What I'd like to know
is whether there is any software that would allow me to run UNIX X-Windows
programs remotely at home from Windows 95 over a modem connetion? Even
better, shareware? Money is an object! If anybody has any experience doing
this, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

From another list:

Some time ago Alfred Kracher asked about X-windows for the Mac.

MI/X is a free X-Windows server and terminal emulator available both for
the Macintosh and Windows95. To download it go to

I haven't tried it but the price is certainly reasonable.
