David,

If you want something like this


[Your station]    ---- network/internet, using SSH --- [LTSP Server]

this is roughly possible without too much hassle, provided your station is
NOT a LTSP terminal but an autonomous Linux PC (Windows will do as well
using the cygwin package or so). While an X server runs on your station, you
can do something like
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
which enables X forwarding as well. After logging in there, you could
probably not only run xterm, xclock,... but also icewm over this connection.
The aim of having "X -query" to the LTSP server would be more difficult. In
that case you probably need a more potent network connection. In case SSH is
your only medium, you could do PPP-via-SSH-tunneling (as described in the
appropriate howto on www.tldp.org - remember that address, they have lots of
howtos).

Feel free to ask in greater detail if needed.

Anselm
