ssh is the best bet for me since it at least has compression.

i could but that would entail a drive to milaukee wisconsin.  id rather let it 
go all weekend doing ssh.  nfs also really sucks over WANS but i have seen it 
before.

so my options are ssh or netcat, where netcat is only installed on my box, i 
would have to install it locally on the other box to use it.

thanks
