Hmmm... Do folks not realise that ssh has a rather useful port forwarding 
facility?

i.e. You have a machine (gw) acting as an ssh gateway for your network. In 
your network you have a mythtv backend running the web server (mbe).

When you are out and about just do:
ssh -L8080:<mbe>:80 user@<gw>
Log in. Now just open a full featured browser (i.e. firefox) and put the 
following in the address bar:
http://localhost:8080/mythweb
Hey presto! No faffing around with lynx!
