[R-gui] client-server R over sockets

Is there an R gui that can provide a client-server interface to R over 
sockets including X11 forwarding from the server?

Normally under unix this can be effectively done with ssh -X to the 
server and running R inside an xterm. But I am running R on a massively 
parallel computer where only a reduced Linux is present so ssh is not 
possible. It is however possible to communicate over sockets.

Thanks,
George
