Not an option. My employer only allows VPN with a SecurID card. No SSH through the firewall. Also, Oracle patchsets require running the Oracle installer which requires X-windows. I can try tweaking the X-server to see if I can reduce the bandwidth requirements. For now though I'm good to go. With a more than adequate working solution, I'm not sure how much time I'm going to invest in trying to get straight X to work.
I did try TightVNC last night. I've run it before under similar circumstances. It seems to have refresh issues with X windows running and it's not as fast as remote desktop.
