slow network graphics

this concerns slow graphics over a VPN from MSwindows to UNIX machines.
i have used Omni-x and EXCEED to connect a MSwindows computer to a unix computer across the internet. this is done thru a VPN.
any graphic-intensive actions (even just the CDE screen display) takes an incredibly long time (DSL download speed is 1.4MHz). commands via telnet happen very fast.

every query i have made gets the same anwser....cant do fast graphics over the internet via VPN & EXCEED or Omni-x or anything else.

i'll ask that question again, here...... is that a fact? ..... i imagine many many people would want this fast interface, and the problem has been solved (?)

now for a really dumb follow-up question ..... if i can pull up graphic-intensive windows via my internet webrowser (even movie trailers!!!) why do mswindows-to-unix graphics take forever over the internet.

this has to be an important issue for anyone working over the internet...... it is certainly a hot topic in my work.

finally.... the irony of all this is that i have a unix box right here and it cannot be connected to the distant unix box by the VPN because the VPN was created for a MSwindows remote connection which forces the use of (1) an mswindows computer and (2) EXCEED, Omni-x or whatever to make the connection & translation...... seems like a lot of speed bumps would go away if there was a unix-unix VPN.

i recognize that i have asked several questions.....but i figured, while was on a roll....

thanks, in advance, for your reply.

make sure you run the user interface (motif, whatever) on the PC rather than on the UNIX machine. that will cut down your network traffic and help your speed
