Try to use VNC with SSH (with compression). I use it with a slow
connection (45K bits), mostly for text on X (Emacs and xmessage), It
works nicely. For graphical applications (I use 16 bpp) it is too slow
(loading of image is OK but moving an image or working with Netscape
is very irritating).
Ehud.
