If you have a faster net access between the two then you can use a better
encryption method with ssh (BTW ssh is not telnet).  For slower service,
use a lower encryption method.

It is possible BTW over ssh!  A quick search in the archives
http://archive.lug.boulder.co.us for "DISPLAY and/or export" will show
you what your looking for.
