anyone got any suggestions please

Not exactly what you're looking for, but two slightly retro approaches that might deliver the required end:

Are you & others involved comfortable with command-line/terminal action? If so, you can "go up a level" and share a virtual terminal using tmux or screen, and run either of the world's most powerful editors, vim (yech) or emacs (yay). Very bandwidth-efficient and robust.

Or in the GUI space, you can achieve something similar -- sharing a desktop rather than a terminal -- using eg X11vnc.
