You can run a very lightweight X Desktop such as LXDE on a super crappy
computer.

If you need to access the Internet through a remote computer, you can use
SSH to SOCKS5 proxy your local connection through the remote computer. This
is super easy to do.

I think that Shortwave requires an X display. However, you can run it
locally and send your connection through an SSH SOCKS5 proxy.
