I decided to try this. I just set up a SLIP link between my main desktop head (a SPARCstation-20) and a handy peecee, running at 9600/8/N/1 on each end. I then sshed through the SLIP link to the peecee and started a terminal emulator, displaying on the ssh-forwarded X display. (My own terminal emulator, running with just base X fonts - in particular, with server-side font rendering.) It's no speed demon, but it is entirely usable. I've had less usable ssh sessions between cities when the inter-city links were heavily loaded. This is without even LBX, which I would expect would improve performance substantially but which has proven resistant to use. (I've been unable to get anything but connection rejections out of it; I don't know why, but don't want to hare off on chasing after that with an email pending.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
