or even better/less expensively you can run a vnc server on the Linux box
then run the client on the windows box to connect to it.... you get a full
graphical interface although the refresh can be a little slow at times it
works quite well... another nice feature is you can also login to it via any
java enabled browser by connecting to 580x (where x is the display # on
which the server is running... it's probably insecure as well but if you're
already using telnet that probably doesn't matter much anyway....

but this is what I do and it works quite well.... I even run a server on my
windows box so I can control it remotely as well...

You will need somehting like Exceed or X-Win32
(http://www.starnet.com/products/) and then you can do that.
Unfortunatley, these things aren't free.
