[FreeNX-kNX] Modern nxtunnel ?

[Bill Alexander]

I was about to say the same thing.  :)  Of course, the ominous silence
also might be because I'm missing something painfully obvious and
nobody's speaking up.  I have a thick skin today, so please just open
up and embarrass me if that's it.

My specific interest is the same as the apochryphal 2004 "slashdot
post" ( http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/621 ) that asked for a
feature akin to ssh -NX.  I don't need printing, drive shares,
persistent sessions, or any of the rest - just the compressed stream
and roundtrip elimination.  Seems to me that the !M product, and thus
FreeNX, is really trying to be a broad-spectrum remote access
solution.  While that's fine and I actually think quite desirable, I
also think there should be a reliable method for specific access to
the single key technology component of fast X11.

Any takers?  Am I just in the wrong forum?

- Bill
