No, not as a protocol. But yes, as in "the user experience". That is, I'd rather not have the user do e.g. ssh from a text console, then start a session through this. IIRC there were some efforts into integrating ssh directly into *dm. This would of course help security- wise, but not with the other things I think are needed.

It then compressed very well (e.g. mozilla over dialup was usable), but very uncomfortable (you had to run various processes on both sides, mostly manually). I did not try it recently but I know it changed a lot. I hoped that someone here with experience will share it. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
