Before paying the asking price, make sure that mix can handle graphics
windows.
I tried it when it was still free, and it wouldn't do graphics at all.

I'm currently using X-Win32 from Starnet Communications

http://www.starnet.com

and really like it.  It'll let you use rsh,rexec or xdm to "contact"
your
Linux pc.  Can't really say what it costsw since my company bought
it....
