It's pretty easy to do. One thing to keep in mind: Install each program
through /Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Add New Programs on the Terminal
Server so that the client can see the application.
Also, I have not been able to install Norton AV Corp. Edition 7.6 through
the server. It just won't seem to "take". If anyone has any suggestions...
TIA

Well, basically you purchase MS Terminal server licenses (not that
expensive) and install these licenses on a Win2K server. Then you install
the client software on the remote location and connect to the Win2K server
with the TS licenses. And, voila, you are tied into your network, but the
session is running on the server, and your workstation is only getting
screen shots which dramatically reduces the bandwidth required for the
remote machine, and hence dramatically speeds up the remote session.

What is involved in using Terminal Services? I tried software similar to
PC
Anywhere last year on a dial-up connection and it was very slow. I didn't
think to try it again with the DSL.

Although this solution will work, I believe that this will be too slow
actually be a viable solution. Since VPN is in essence just a remote
connection to your internal network through a MUCH smaller pipeline, it
will
obviously be much slower than actually being on the network. A case in
point, I believe that in order to load Vantage to the initial sign-on
screen
requires more than 6 MB of data to be downloaded to the client. How long
will this take over your DSL connection?
It MAY (although I have not yet seen it in practice by anyone) be somewhat
workable if you locate all the Vantage and Progress files on the remote
workstation, and use the VPN only for access to the database.
Personally, I would use a remote access solution such as PC Anywhere or
Terminal Services as relatively cheap, fast remote access solutions for
Vantage.

The company and potential remote users both have DSL connections finally.
We both have identical firewalls that support VPN. Once I finish setting
up
the VPN connection what is the next step in running Vantage from the
remote
client? Could some one contact me off list who has done this?
