Check www.nomachine.com; site is down now (hope they are not out of
business. They sell a nifty x-compressing proxy which makes using x over
low bandwidth lines a lot more comfortable (even with xrender
extensions). The compression code is free, but their integrated solution
is payware... there's also a free evalution download which doesn't
expire.
