indirect nx access?

[fedora]

Hi Dave
this probably does not answer your question directly, which is related 
to ForwardX11.
My answer is mail related.
to access mail from anywhere we have done a Webmail installation on a 
server based on squirrelmail.
And once I have established a cli to an internal machine, I can also use 
alpine (the former pine from Washinghton University) on an internal 
machine.
Both o'them require that you mail is accessible via IMAP.
Both o'thme require that you have done the respecive installations 
before you go off.
