Lots of great info in the responses so I'll keep my $.02 short.  I've
found even 100mbs eathernet connections sluggish with xterm gui stuff.
If you are talking about doing this over the Internet, be sure about
responsivness/speed before you spend $.02.  I do everything I need
with puTTY, (telnet should be off in almost all circumstances).
