That time scale depends greatly on the country, even
within Western countries. Ttechnology is just a minor
part; politics is what controls much of telecom still.

I have high speed at work but also a crippling firewall/proxy
that makes actual use of the net very hard. With the growing
problems of spam, worms and breakins I don't expect any
improvements soon.

...and it might be even worse at work. At home I expect to be
running (or rather plodding) at 28800 for years to come. This
is also the reason I appeal to all to trim replies.

I cannot use ssh from work with the current advanced security
system. A web solution might work. There is a company on the
net that offers virtual computers via web, Redhat is offered
as one type of service. If the LDP would one day offer something
similar it might be acceptable to the ever increasingly
restrictive firewalls.

I do. Were it all open a simple X11 session (optionally via
tunnelling) could be used. However to work for all it would
have to work even in a Citrix Metaframe session.
