There are pre-compiled Win32 binaries (with graphical
installer) of the GNU cygwin XServer package (including
ssh client) available at:
http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/compare.php
You will want to change the Command field in xwinlogon
from the default "startkde" to "xterm" (or something
similar). You should be able to pass xLeap through your
xterm ssh session.
You might want to try this free open source implementation
for windows before buying a proprietary win xserver
package. I know that it works fine with AMD64 & IA32
Linux servers, although I have not tried it with SGI.
Cheers,
Thomas
