I have a PowerMac 6100 with an ethernet connection to the Internet. I also
run a UNIX-based (BSDI) Internet server on a Pentium machine at a remote
site hooked to a T-1.

In short, I need to know what software I need to run on my Mac to access
the UNIX box and execute X clients located there, and have them display on
my Mac.

I need to work on this Internet server by remote, and I'd like to do it
via a graphical (X WINDOWS) environment on my Mac.

I've heard of MachTen and Tenon's X Windows implimentation for the Mac. 

Do I need both of these programs, or can I get away with just the MachTen
X Windows software?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
