Not sure if this is the correct list, but I'll give it a try. We're trying to move from M$ to Linux, using Netraverse via X to diskless (or minimal - like a ThinkNic) workstations. We're in proof-of-concept mode here, and are trying to serve this up via the internet to a remote station. While this seems to work very speedily over my ethernet connection, it is horribly slow over an ISDN (here in Texas) ->T1 connection (in Tennessee). Looking at the bandwidth, it is generally using about 3K bytes per second, but doing little to nothing on the remote screen. Screen refreshes that take a second or so locally are taking up to 3 MINUTES on the remote, with a constant 3K bytes/sec of traffic. Occasionally we see a burst of 10Kbytes/sec, but not often, and there appears to be no connection with that burst and the rate of screen refresh.
The way we are doing this is: ssh -X -f user@localserver <application> This example came from the Netraverse manual, and, again, it works very speedily over my ethernetwork, served from the same machine that is giving it up so slowly. Is there a better way to do this? Are there settings to speed this up? TIA for answering.
