I did, yes, but I'd forgotten. Thanx for reminding me. I think that's done
in java (same as TunnelX). I've never been able to get java stuff working
properly without endless hassle, so I've not tried it (or TunnelX). I should
probably try again as there has been much improvement in free java
implementations recently.

A comparison of therion, TunnelX and Carto would be very useful, but I don't
know of anyone who's tried all three.
