In case anyone else is interested, I thought I'd add what I found when I
went browsing. (note that I haven't tried any of these out yet so
caveat emptor...)
1. At the Tech FTP site, in directory Linux/X11/xutils is a utility
dxpc-2.0.1.tar.gz, that is "An X protocol compressor that improves X11
performance over low-bandwidth network connections."
2. Also at the Tech FTP site is a mini-HOWTO for LBX (low bandwidth X)
in the directory Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini.
If anyone finds other useful files, I'd appreciate a pointer.
Hope this helps,
don
