I've used it a bit more. I'm currently on an ADSL connection that claims to be 4 mb. The display is a bit slow but so far at least I've found it tolerable. I'm mainly using it to do some compute-intensive jobs. I start them, work on something else, and then check the results in Grass.
Regards, Jerry

Hi Jerry
I am glad to hear GRASS seems to be running well
from your box back home. Once you have been able to
use it a bit, please will you let us know your
further impressions. I am currently doing some
investigating over the feasibility of offering our
clients remote access to our server. This is
attractive, because it reduces the burden of
deploying the software and data on several machines.
I have an ADSL link and my testing has shown the
rendering of graphics to be fairly slow. I think,
however that this is an effect of my low bandwidth,
which fluctuates between 30 - 40kbps. I am eager to
hear more of your experience.Best regards
