In case you have good bandwidth to your SGI box (xDSL/T1, Ethernet or
better), try using a X client for Win9x/2k:

The freely downloadable demo is fully functional, but times out after
2 hours. This will kill the task on the opposite end, which is
probably not what you want (most modelling sessions last longer than 2
h). The pricing for the full version is very reasonable for the
(excellent) product quality, especially considered discounts for .edu

X-Win32: $A300 ($US200) per license for 1-5 licenses. Discounts are
available for upgrades, quantity orders, education use, Government,
and resellers.
This turns your Windows desktop into full fledged X environment.
(Btw, in case you're using an old SGI (Indigo, Indy, O^2), and your
software is OpenSource, try building and running it on a modern
(Athlon) Linux box. You might be positively surprised of which
numerical performance modern PCs are capable of).
