What I need is something that works like the windoze remote desktop/terminal server only with a linux server and linux clients. It has to work over relatively low bandwidth, ie a wan where typically you might only have between 256kbps and 1.5 Mbps. The Xterms and ssh port forwarding solutions that I have worked with work with are painful to say the least on such connections. They work fine when you have a high bandwidth connection such as you would find on a LAN. Thanks anyway, Regards, Tom
