ssh is a very poor choice for such a firewall. Read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/ppp-ssh/introduction.html#DRAWBACKS Now re-read the recent thread we had here about the extra overhead of RTP packets. With an ssh tunnel you'll typically get a data packet of 512 bytes for every RTP packet. Nice overhead. Consider using openvpn or something similar instead. Also: You did not mention where the the X clients reside. Maybe your task is actually to work with a decent networked sound server just as display is networked with X. Some interesting, but quite linux-specific resources regarding that may be found at http://wiki.ltsp.org/ . -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq#16849755 iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
