Is there a way to forward X11 client/server data (that would normally go
straight to the X11 server) through a modem to an X server on a host on
the other side?  Is it a matter of finding out which socket the X server
listens on (BTW, what address DOES it listen on?), and then creating a
process to "cat" from that port through the modem (and then
"cat" from the modem on the other side to the address the remote X 
server is listening on?

If it was that simple...
