[Dclug] Telnetting into a Linux box from M$

[ethan at 757.org]

You need to use SSH. It is possible to forward the xwindows connection 
through SSH to a Windows machine (use PuTTY) and then display the remote 
applications using an x-server on the Windows host (I think cygwin comes 
with one, maybe Microsoft services for UNIX (or is that only things like 
NFS?) and then there were older commercial Windows xservers (Hummingbird 
comes to mind). I'm sure there is at least one free X Server for Windows.

The other solution is using something like VNC to the Linux machine, or 
RDP.

None of it uses telnet, though.
