There is txconn (basically a socket redirector) which listens on the socket 6000+ (client side X server sockets :) and sends stuff to the other end, to socket 6001 (you rlocal server.) Term does compression, and will work over any streamed connection (i.e. TCP, SLIP, PPP, whatever,) not only serial lines. To the X client it seems as if it were connected to localhost:X, where X is 9 by default. I have used it over 14.4 kbps line and xarchie was reasonably fast (i.e. it almost walked, if you don't mind 3 to 5 seconds for start and 1 second redraws :) /Alby
