Thanks Michael, but I'm really looking for something not tied into a 
gui, not needing any userspace programs to even know it's there.  Maybe 
a kernel patch, or summat.

Don't mind if the server box is running something hefty, but I'd like to 
keep things tight and lean on the client box ...

Any takers?
