Hi,
using some tunneling, I sugest customers to setup a Windows TS server to
everyone using the system over internet or some other slow/remote network.
This gives zero configuration at client side (plus easy app updates), easy
to secure server side (FB server is on a diferent sever on same network as
TS server) a very good performing.
Of course, this is not the cheapest solution since you have to buy a Windows
(NT) server + TS licences. BUT... It's not the most expansive too. And --
for those apps build using Delphi or other Windows compiler -- you can even
use Linux workstations accessing the server using RDesktop.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!
