Is there a FAQ that spells out how to re-direct a freebsd X windows desktop
to a remote win95/nt machine? I currently have some client software for 95,
which works for individual programs, but I'm not sure if I should be using X
onNet32 or something else. Also I haven't been able to run X windows on the
freebsd box since I've chaned video cards, but I don't want run it locally,
just remotely....

Btw is this even possible??!?

Thanks!! 


if I do a;

#xlogo -d 192.0.0.30:0.0 

I get the X logo on my 95 machine, but if I try 

# startx -d 192.0.0.30:0.0
