I used to occasionally run X clients in Wisconsin and display them at
Pole via ~1mbps sat link (1200-1600ms RTT). It was painful but it
would usually (eventually) work.

I didn't have quite that time problem, but I sometimes used to test
external connectivity and do offsite troubleshooting from my desk at
work by connecting to my SGI machine at home over dialup, or later over
ISDN (one channel into home, one channel out from there to my ISP).
That's when you realise how much Netscape is doing :-)
