I am running Exceed right now. It is great, but it only a Xwindows client,
it doesn't allow you do have run both operating systems as such. You are
right, if you have linux(UNIX) running on another box you can connect
through Exceed and run Linux applications directly on a Win98/NT box. It
connects through a telnet session same as any other telnet session. The
difference is it creates an Xsession for you so that display can be exported
and stuff like that.
With that said, it is a terrific product, but I am not sure if its exactly
what you may think it is?
