I don't know of any freeware (or even shareware) X terminal packages
for PCs.  The cheapest (financially) would be to (attempt to) crowbar
the MIT sources, but this would be a _lot_ of work (segmented
architecture, MS Windows, etc).

There are several commercial offerings - including our own XVision 4.0
(small plug!), which is an X11r4 server.  It uses one of several
possible TCP/IP packages; we specifically support FTP Software's
product.  Cost is US$ 499, details from vware@visionware.co.uk.  Or
contact Unipress Software on +1 201-985-8000 or Graphic Software
Systems on +1 503-641-2200.
