Verbosity has made things unclear! :)

Sorry Benoît, unless I mis-understood something, I am sure ssh -X login
will be as good as IDE login without the overheads.

I do this all the time with ssh -X so I am a fan of this method of
remote debugging. Please try logging into a remote PC with ssh -X
username at ...2857..., then run gambas IDE by typing gambas3. Now open
gambas3 on local PC to run both IDEs side by side. Start using both
IDEs, side by side, and see if you can tell which IDE is local and which
one remote!! Its not possible to tell the difference for most things
except perhaps games and video because screen update is through network.

Although the remote gambas is displayed on local desktop, its still
physically running on the remote machine. As such if you had
say a serial port receiving data on the remote machine,
then you can view that data coming in through the gambas serial port
example program. Some experiments run for hours in the lab, so when
I'm in the office, I do ssh -X into the lab PC and run the serial
port example program and it shows what state the experiment has reached.

Best regards.
