Hi Patrick,

(I am actually a Verizon FiOS customer at my home. I prefer to to use
GMail account for email though.)

I think it is safe to assume the answer is "no".

I'm reading the wikipedia article on ECCN. It sounds like it might be
difficult for X2Go to obtain an ECCN because we use SSH and SSL for
encryption.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Administration_Regulations

Often we do use the Linux distro's provided SSH and SSL packages. But
often (primarily on Windows and Mac) we do ship SSH and SSL libraries.

Of course, lots of open-source software uses and/or includes SSL
libraries. This page seems to have useful advice.

 I am open to suggestions.

Also, note that X2Go infrastructure such as
http://code.x2go.org/releases/ (where the Windows client's binaries
are downloaded from) is hosted in Germany.
