Xappeal is a DOS, not Windows program. You can get it from any SimTel
mirror, directory: msdos/xwindow. Installation is easy (assuming that the 
network connection between these two computers is set up); if you run
xdm on your Linux machine choose Query as a method of connection. The
configuration file xappeal.cfg has a syntax similar to that found in
XF86Config, so you can fine tune your display. The default xdm
configuration file in Debian 2.1 allows connection from any computer,
probably its better to change it and limit the access. Unfortunately I
still don't know how to display XBanner on this X-terminal :-(.
Good luck.
