>(well ok xeyes works but that doesn't really count)
I am regularly ssh'ing into uni or work over a modem, with the -X flag,
which effectively tunnels an X connection thru ssh. Its workable, but,
I'd have to agree, it's damn slow :)
Oh, and you haven't seen sluggishness until you've seen xquake2 on a
Palm IIIx using VNC :)
