I was wondering if it's possible to do remote demos under X windows.
That is, I bring up a program on my display and interact with the
window on my machine.  At the same time a "copy" of the window is
displayed on the remote machine.  The effect is not unlike a unix
"tee."  Messages which draw to the window on my machine are duplicated
and sent to the remote machine.

Does there exist a program for doing this?  Anyone ever consider what
it would take to construct one?  Seems like it would be a generally
useful tool for demoing things across the net.

Please reply by email, as I don't read this newsgroup regularly.  I
will post a summary of useful responses.
