You really need to look at lbx or some other X compression proxy. Run that on
a box next to your router at the remote site. These packages are GNU, do in
fact work, and more informations (bandwidth) can be found on their websites.
You can also run X through ssh with compression. I don't think running raw X
over any WAN is very feasable, and X specific compression, works much greater
than generic data compression (and PC CPU cycles are cheaper that router CPU
sycles $ for $).
