My original post was:
"I have a PC Pentium and a school account. I installed netscape into my
school account (an SunOS 4.1.3 machine)

I can dial-in to my school account, then I can get a vt100 terminal for
my school account on my PC.

How can I run Sun graphics programs including netscape from that
terminal?"

I've got many quick and good reponses. Thanks to all of you.

There 4 sets of solutions.

Use TCP/IP Stack, for example, Trumpet Winsock:
It provide a PPP/SLIP/SLIRP connect from your PC to a UNIX server which provides
PPP/SLIP/SLIRP also.

  ftp://ftp.caltech.edu/pcpublic/msdos/www/mosaic/sockets/winsock.zip
  See also /pcpublic/msdos/winsock for several applications.

Get X server for PC from:
  http://www.biostat.washington.edu/pc/pcnfs/uncle-daves.html
Or
  eXceed from hummingbird, http://www.hummingbird.com
  which is not FREE.

To find the X server stuff that is freeware, you can check out the following:
        ftp.ipac.net /pub/starnet/public/xwindemo.zip
                      /pub/starnet/public/xwindemo32.zip

        There is supposedly some at http://www.windows95.com
        (or you can ftp to it) but I am not sure of the name of the software.

        Or you can check the FAQ for the newsgroups Comp.windows.x and
        Comp.windows.x.apps (which you can get from rtfm.mit.edu)

For slirp: (slip/ppp emulator - free)
        ftp://ftp.std.com /customers3/src/network/slirp-0.91.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu /packages/Linux/slackware/contrib/slirp.README
                (you can get the readme and it will tell you other sites to
                 get the software. You can get it from any linux archive site
                 but you dont need linux to run it. It will compile under Sun)

For TIA: (slip/ppp emulator - $25)
                ftp://marketplace.com/tia/

Note: To set up TIA or SLiRP, check out
        http://www.webcom/com/~llarrow/tiarefg.html
        (this page will allow you to download the software and gives tips
         on setting both of them up)
