If you're needing to export graphical components, then Cygwin/X
(http://x.cygwin.com/) is a pretty good solution. Downside is, depending
which version you pull down, cut-n-paste functionality may be broken
(they seem to periodically screw that up).

If all you need is CLI access, PuTTY is great.

CLI == command line interpreter.

No graphics allowed.

Cygwin/X has ssh built for it too. ssh -X into your sparc from xterm,
and you'll be all set.

Yes, and no. The standard default Cygwin install *doesn't* include
ssh. You have to specifically include it for installation. As I
recall, Cygwin puts the openssh package in the "net" subsection.

Also, there are certain X applications (matlab, fer one), that dies a
piteous and horrible death when using "ssh -X" with Cygwin/X. The
recommended solution is "ssh -Y", which enables "trusted X11
forwarding".

For the OP, once you've gotten this installed, there are a pair of
startxwin.(bat|sh) scripts somewhere in the C:\Cygwin\ tree. By
default, it starts X, and then opens an xterm.
