Any suggestions which way to turn?   Having never seen a well >set-up xs

Hi Stefan,
SSH is the first thing I got working, as I find this essential.   Here is 
diagram my test setup: (http://www.990tony.com/olpc/tony-build1.jpg)

Windows----XP----XS----XO   (XP is a Proxy/Squid/DansG,     XS is 
LAMP/Moodle,   XO is laptop)
