Shaun,
Did you use the -from parameter as documented in the User's Guide?
The -from paramter is required by Cygwin/XFree86.

Xwin is running on Win98SE, the XDMCP host is running on Debian.

I'd love to be able to use my M$ box as a dumb Xterm (seems fitting). What's
going wrong here? From the mailing list archives I understand -query doesn't
work with Win95, but it's supposed to work with Win98.
Thanks,
Shaun
