Does anyone know why this is killing the Dosemu session across SSH, but not locally? I have fiddled with various video settings in dosemu.conf, but nothing seems to help. Is there a way to fix it?

the only option that *might* fix it but I'm not at all sure is $_X_mitshm = (on)
try to set that to (off), to force it not to use MIT shared memory extensions that speed up xdosemu on local machines.

YES!!!!

Thank you _SOOOO_ much!!!

It works using SSH across my local LAN, and I have no reason to expect that it won't work across the Internet too.

Using the -C parameter (to compress data), it works very comfortably. Without the -C the print preview completely crawls (because it's a graphic mode), though this was not necessary for WordPerfect in normal text mode.

Brilliant job. Well done. Many, many thanks.

ssh -c blowfish -C may be even faster.

well it seems that the X code is now faked so well by ssh that it thinks that it does not run across the network, so I guess some adjustments would be nice if what you had to do manually will be done automatically.
