X window system for Windows?

I must use a windows machine at work and I want to be able to use some of my x applications on my BSD machine at home. Does anyone know of an X11 server that works on NT? I figured the windows forum wouldn't be much help on this subject.

im not too sure, but i belive xwin32 is a x11 server that will work on nt. I used it before connecting to a Solaris system, from a win98 machine. Its pretty good.

Cygwin runs XFree86, and it's free. You can run other stuff in Cygwin like OpenSSH, BASH, GCC, etc.
