[ltp] BlueKite like Software for Linux

[Tod Harter]

I would assume then that your "BlueKite enabled" windows box would then need 
to talk to another similarly configured box at the other end.

I think you can easily accomplish the same thing using PPTP out of the box on 
linux. I've never tried it, and I would bet that there are a dozen other ways 
to do it as well, but they would all involve creating a pont-to-point network 
tunnel of some sort.

The real question would be whether or not the result was more efficient. It 
would depend highly on the type of network traffic. Remember, most large 
streams of data are things like multimedia, which do not compress well at all 
(read usually not at all). Compression might benefit some applications like 
possibly file serving or web access, but those usually don't demand enough 
bandwidth for it to matter much.
