I think SSH will not tunnel UDP, and TCP NFS for Linux and Solaris (?) is
not reliable. I would lean towards SSH in rcp-style mode: for a
continent-wide link you will probably find the performance of batch-style
transfers more enjoyable than that of a remote file system system. SSH
also very neatly lets you run remote commands and so on. (Enough,
already...)
