The target is to transparently make many X applications usable over 9600 baud modems. Since commercial use of LZW requires licensing patented technology, we are also looking for an unencumbered algorithm and implementation to provide as well. A full specification needs to be written describing the network protocol used between the proxy and the server. The LBX team is continuing to work on both the implementation of the remaining items and the full specification. The goal is to have all of the pieces ready for final review by the public later this year.
Usage Start the X server as usual, and then start the proxy.
