[ale] Running Cygwin + X + ssh

Hello,

I'm trying to run Xfree86 under Cygwin on win98.  I'm using ssh -X to
connect up to
my Linux box and run gnome-session.  It seems to work great but If I get too
many apps running
it seems to freeze up.  Any program that use TCP/IP to communicate can no
longer connect to
the outside world.  UDP is fine.  The only recovery is to kill the Cygwin.
netstat -n shows 20 or so
connected sockets.  Did I reach my limit on thei sh*ty windows OS?

I will say that X under Cygwin rocks!

Thanks,
Chris Fowler
