Hi, I am looking for a free Terminal Emulator for Linux, running on Windows XP for accessing the Linux server from Windows XP workstations in graphical mode.

VNC is also an option if you want a desktop as opposed to a terminal.

I guess I missed the graphical part. If you use VNC over a hostile network, you'll want to tunnel it over SSH, otherwise everything you send is plain-text, including passwords, except the VNC password.

Along the subject of linux terminal emulators. I'm looking for an open source emulator with dynamic font resizing (like Procomm and Reflections do when you adjust the window size) and user definable colors. It must run on Linux.
Why: I want to dump Windows and move to Linux on a several production desktops and the only thing stopping me is that they need access to a legacy application written specifically to the wyse50. (We could use a vt100 emulator and write the wyse50 support if necessary). The emulator must also support attributes like blinking, underline, reverse, etc.
There are lots of vt100 emulators out there but none have the automatic font proportioning that our users require...they may have several sessions open at any given time and like to shrink/tile the windows. Other users with vision issues prefer full-screen, etc. I've tried using Procomm on Wine without great success. I would also consider contributing developer time to an established project if necessary. An open source solution is preferred so we can extend it's capabilties.

I've also seen, (by searching with google), methods for making procomm for dos run on linux boxes, but haven't had the time to bother with it.
If you come up with a solution let me know as well, I could move 30 or so desktops over to linux if I had a term emulator for Adds ViewPoint terminals.
