Tarantella/Win4Lin combination... (if the www.linuxcad.com/ doesn't work for
you - looked to be the best solution offered)...
Tarantella/Win4Lin combo lets you set up a Win4Lin server and serve up
sessions - get this - even over a *dial-up* WAN link (acceptable, although a
little jerky). Works very well. Win4Lin will even set you up with a Temp
user account so you can see it in action. Client can be any computer that
runs a Browser with Java applet support (yes, it runs through the browser, and
you can access local filesystems, printers, etc).
