Perhaps XDMCP does, I've not tried it. However on my local system I'm OK
with about 2Mbits/s - I only need to have a reliable connection to
service each system, not try to run videos etc. From a remote standpoint
WRT windows I've found UltraVNC superb on all counts. I've seldom had a
glich or problem with it, the support & forums are excellent, and
they've addressed any security issues quickly.

I also manage multiple remote retail store (Windows based) locations
with UltraVNC running over hardwired router based encrypted VPN's and
I've yet to have the software barf on me like the commercial PCAnywhere
type products.
