You can use either a Full X-Windows Session(xdm) session OR Use a product called VNC (www.realvnc.com). With Full X-Windows Session - you will need an X-Server emulation program on your PC -- like. KeaX, eXceed, ReflectionX, etc...

Shalom,

I do believe that realvnc runs on all of the above platforms and HP-UX for that matter.

If all you want is a text based connection, then windows hyperterminal works.

If you want a graphics then you will have to use a program such as ReflectionsX, eXceed or cygwin.

The first two are commercial products for purchase. The last one is open source and and can be found at
http://x.cygwin.com/

Hi,

another nice tool is XMing which is also freeware. As others it allows having a Xserver on your PC or connect to a desktop running on your UNIX servers.

You can find informations and download here:
