In an attempt to over come ISP based throttling I've been looking at
Freenx.  Having read the docs I'm still unclear as to how the client
authenticates.  Why is an 'nx' user needed on the server?  Does it work
like this?

nxlcient --ssh as my acct-> sshserver --ssh as 'nx'-> localhost

That seems very odd.  Can anyone here explain how Freenx works?
