Oh well, as long as it's only _slightly_ offtopic. I mean, we have
dreadfully high standards for ontopicness here, you know.

A _client_ that is free and _also_ low-priced... hmmm, hmmm.... :)

God I'm a prat today :). Okay, just read the below and then you can
ignore me.

Okay, well a year ago I would have said the same as Wayne, try the X-Win32
demo (time-limited) app, it is pretty damn good.

However, I can now strongly recommend the Cygwin XFree86 - which is, quite
literally, a port of XFree86 to Windows using Cygwin. In fact I'm using it
right at the moment and it's great.

Go and have a look at

  http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/

and follow the very very good "downloading and installing" directions.

Feel free to ask me if you need any help - but do post questions to the
list if you can. I'm sure others would appreciate seeing both the questions
that you might ask in the process of installing it and the answers
(assuming I or others on this list can answer them).
