4/11     When I dialup from home, I use screen in my shell so that if I
         get disconnected, I can dial back in and reconnect my screen and
         thus not loose any work. Is there something similar I can do with
         my X apps also? (xterms, emacs, etc). I suppose I can run vnc on
         my workstation at school, but vnc is slow and not secure.
         \_ YOu can vnc over ssh.
            \_ Doesn't ssh break the connection when you hang up?
         \_ w/ static IPs, use ssh w/o keepalives, and ssh/X will persist
            short interruptions or long ones if all is idle.
