SSH

[dberry at banta-im.com (dberry)]

Does any know of a way to run x traffic over the ssh port.  We currently
use ssh to connect  to our internal network but we also have people who
want to user x-windows over the Net.  Most of the off site people with
Windoze use tterm but there is no way to forward x traffic.  Any ideas?
