VNC to display xterm on a WindowsXX machine ?????
Why waste CPU and network resources ?

I would recommend a X-Server for WindowsXX.

If there are concerns about security - use ssh for WindowsXX to log into 
the linux box. SSH can also encrypt the X window traffic.

There are multiple commercial and free implementations of ssh and of X Window 
servers for
WindowsXX  available. (Sorry no links handy)

PS: You might want to look for version 1.X of ssh - The licenses of 2.X 
versions require you to
buy a license in most usage scenarios.
