Hi,

I want to add a terminal server to allow a couple remote users to access our network application. The problem is we only have a 56k line available here. No High speed connection is available so is a 56k (pc client)to 56k (Terminal Server) is fast enough considering that 2 or 3 simultanious connections will occur at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

If you want them to use Dial Up to directly dial in to your terminal server and for each remote user use a 56k line then its no problem.
If however you will use the 56k line on the server to connect the server to the intenet and all users will log on thru the internet to that servers 56k line then its going to be very slow for the remote users.

HI All,

Well this is my opinion on that wonderfull question of bandwith. I feel, based on my experience that a 56K modem will not do the job efficiently and will not give you any room for growth. Furthemore you are going to run application over this 56K connection, this is a no no. Its a bad enough running application over a 10 BaseT Connection. can It be done, probably yes, are you user going to be happy and efficient/productive I think not.

Thank You
