[lug] remote xterm question...

[Mr Viggy]

VNC will work.  It's not fast, and I don't know how secure it is.  But, 
it's free.

Actually, I was it in the opposite way.  I have a VNC server running on 
my Win2K box, and I use the client program on my laptop (running 
Slackware Linux).

There is a re-write, TightVNC, that is a little faster on updating the 
screen.  http://www.tightvnc.com/  TightVNC claims support wiht/through 
SSH, so it looks like it's secure.  I don't have experience with this, 
as I'm running it on my LAN, so I figure I'm secure already (I hope ;-)
