If this sort of wholesale screen transfer is enough for your needs, you
could use "xwd -root -display machine:0 | xwud" as an X solution.  If
your machine has not been xhosted in, you could "rsh machine xwd -root
-display :0 | xwud" instead.

If the beeps bother you, well, you have source to xwd, and it generates
them explicitly....
