Hi.
You will need at least one of these:
* putty - win9x telnet/ssh client
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
You'll need this for console apps,
* an X server for win9x (like Cygwin/XFree86, see
http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/) for X-window apps.
I've been using putty for months and I can recommend it - it works
greatly. I haven't tried the X for windows however, but I have seen some
demos in the past. If Cygwin/XFree86 doesn't suit your needs, you should
find some other implementations with google.
