<div>Hmmm. Interesting. I am the same point I began. </div>

<div>FreeNX or VNC same thing. I was hoping for a better X11 experience but I guess not on a WAN.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looks like FreeNX is slightly better than VNC.</div>

<div>I am surprised that XDMCP does not allow to connect/reconnect to the same session once disconnected.</div>
