The newest 'ttsh' (1.3 AFAIK) supports port forwarding, and X11 forwarding.
I have only used the port forwarding, but it works fine, so I assume the
X11 support is ok also. And, it is free. :) WRT the US patent issue,
there is a 'libeayus' package that you need to install over the default
ttssh file. (libeay.dll I believe)
