Hi,

I'm having a problem with XDMCP and Cygwin/XFree86. I have two computers, a
Pentium III 500 running Win98 and a 6x86 150 running RedHat 7.1. I'm trying
to XDMCP using Cygwin/XFree86 from the Windows machine to the Linux machine
over a 100 Mbps LAN. What's happening is that Cygwin/XFree86 is REALLY
REALLY slow. It takes around 10 minutes from login to the actual GNOME
desktop loading up. When I tried this using the Linux setup that I have on
the Windows machine, it worked perfect. Is Cygwin/XFree86 slow or could
something be messed up?
