Hi All, I've been using remote-X over dial-up connections (ISDN) quite easily at work. This wasn't just X, but a compressed version of it. On both ends, software (go-global) was installed from Graphon (Solaris/HP-UX and PC). And as far as i know, there is still something like LBX (Low-Bandwith-X), an extension to X. Might that be something for you? Hans. On Sat, 2005-01-22 at 23:23, Michael Behrens wrote:
Remote X is fine over LAN-connection with at least 10 MBit/s and low latency (ping time, keyword "round trips'). Even on a DSL line it is nearly unusable, because it becomes slow, especially the more "modern" X11 toolkits suffer from this.
VNC, especially TightVNC, is much better suited for slow connections, "NX" of nomachine.com is another alternative especially for X11.
