Subject RE: [IBO] Create Database in Citrix
Author Roger Vellacott
Which Citrix product are you using? Do you get acceptable performance
with say 20 users on single server with a busy database? How much does
this cost per year? Do you find that a direct link over the internet
between client apps on a workstation and FB on a server is too slow?

A bit off topic I fear, but I would appreciate any information or
advice, as I have to come up with some kind of distributed solution as
fast as I can.
