Actually there is a new tool available called Xremote that distributes the task of processing X protocol requests between a local UNIX system and a remote X server (``remote'' being on the other end of some serial connection; presumably anything acting like a terminal would do). This is not unlike what Graphon and NCD do to improve serial line performance.
