Serving X Windows over Dial-Up?

[Leo J Mauler]

Oh, I must have misunderstood the technology then.  I was under the
impression that Lumens did *network* LTSP, not dial-up or RAS LTSP.  In
fact, I distinctly remember someone saying "needs a 100Mbps Ethernet
connection", which is considerably faster than a dial-up connection.

Has anyone else tried serving up Linux and X (ala LTSP) over a dial-up
connection?  Can you do anything X-based with it?  I'm thinking in terms
of, say, editing a document in Abiword or a spreadsheet in Gnumeric, or
reading one's E-mail using an X-based application like Evolution.  I.e.,
if that sort of thing is so slow that it is annoying, thats not "doing
anything X-based with it".

Lets assume a low-overhead desktop manager, like IceWM.
