You also need to get the server file from one of the unix directories....
Then you need to make it on your unix machine.
I found that it was already compiled on Columbia's machines!
It is /usr/local/bin/uw.

Give UNIX-Windows for Windows a shot!  It is really nice under OS/2!
I got it from Host pc.usl.edu

There is another similar piece of software called UW - Unix Windows.
It's also a host-client arrangement.  The host has been developed for
BSD and there are client versions for the Amiga, the Mac, DOS &
Windows. (I believe it was originally developed for the Amiga) It's
been around for quite a while.  I'm using the Windows version in
seamless.  The released version 1.03 for windows has only adm31
emulation, but the beta 1.04 has pretty decent vt100 support & ZModem.
The person who is writing the Windows version is Russ Poffenberg
(poffen@sj.ate.slb.com).  I hear rumours that a PM version is being
worked on.

This type of comm package is *very nice* -- just like having multiple
xterms without the overhead of X.

(IMHO anyway)
