[»] Security with SSH
by Tero Karvinen - Apr 8th 2006 09:08:48

For security, you should use SSH to encrypt connection. You would not use 'telnet' to connect to remote computer either.

$ ssh -X tero@laptop.example.com "x2x -west -to :0." &

[»] new release: 1.30 beta
by David Chaiken - Nov 13th 2003 13:32:42

Mark Hayter got x2x working under cygwin,
eliminating the need to buy a Windows X server
when forwarding from a Wintel machine.

Thanks to Thomas Chadwick for releasing Mark's
code as cygwin package x2x-1.30-1.

I think that the next step for x2x is to contact
Debian to see if we can't unite the cygwin and
debian versions of x2x.

Here are some x2x-related hyperlinks:
Debian package
Cygwin package announcement
Cygwin package update (x2x-1.27-2)
I have contacted Thomas Chadwick, the Cygwin x2x maintainer, to see if he wants to continue developing x2x.

[»] hacking x2x again
by David Chaiken - Aug 21st 2003 10:30:53

After a number of requests and for my own use,
I'd like to get x2x working better with cygwin.

Since I wrote x2x, I've received a number
of contributions and requests for x2x. If time
permits, I'll merge in some of them.
