It's a *fact* that I found X via SSH with only 400kbps upstream from the far end quite workable as long as there weren't bitmaps involved. For text work it was "like being there" for me as I remember - can't check
Äh, why do you need X11 forwarding for text work? For me text work is shell/vi/mutt/screen. I’m using these programs daily without the need for X11 forwarding.
But for things like thunderbird or wireshark you’ll need a good network with low latency or it isn’t fun.
In my experience X11 forwarding is only really working with LAN connections (and I mean the complete X11 forwarding feature set). Here it gets ugly really fast.
And as far as I was told things like VNC or RDP are an improvement for remote desktops and WAN connections. And yes, I did rdp via modem connections.
Shade and sweet water!
