Softwindows for Zoomer connectivity

I've played around a little with Softwindows on a SPARCstation 5. I tried
installing Ensemble 2.0 (figuring on installing the 2.01 patches) and also
Intellilink.

Ensemble was so slow that I gave up on it. Softwindows seems to really crawl
when running non-Windows graphical applications. It did run, which was kind of
nice, and I may install Ensemble or Palmconnect just to have around, but it
doesn't look very usable. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has had
better luck with this.

Intellilink, on the other hand, runs quickly enough to be useful. Softwindows
does some kind of magic in order to optimize Windows applications, and since
Intellilink is a Windows application, it runs fine.
