Now my only complaint is that it's very slow. It takes about a minute to paint a new screen, say after I close a program, and that's with ssh -C. The traffic from buckstop to kkk is going through the upload side of a cable modem at about 65KBps. Does this sound right, or should it be faster than that? VNC is a lot faster doing the same thing.

*WELL*.

One way to speed up X is to use something like the differential X
protocol compressor. http://www.vigor.nu/dxpc/ It claims to make xterms
and emacs usable over a 28.8 dialip modem.

I don't know if it will tunnel over ssh too well.

Another way is to not tunnel the X over ssh at all. That may or may not
be an option for you.

Thanks. Unfortunately, running it over an insecure link is not an option. I'll give dxpc a try.
