Is this a magic solution for avoiding corruption and slowness of TPS files?

| Hi!
We were talking to some network experts and they told us about using
either Citrix Metaframe or VNC (This is free) in order to avoid data
corruption and even slowless of TPS files. The app(Clarion5 Legacy) we
have been maintaining is used for about 20 clients simultaneously and
it has about 250 files. The server used is a dedicated IBM server
compound of Dual Xeon (1.13), 2G RAM and SCSI HDs. The network is also
so good.
Does anyone have know if this is really true?
Thanks in advance

It wont 100% eliminate it, but it will reduce it significantly - and its
particularly good for remote users.
However, its a really expensive solution to that problem.

| Jorge,
We have clients running our (.TPS) system under VNC, Citrix and MS©
Terminal Server. Citrix is an expensive, but very solid platform.
There's a good chance that your server already has MS© Terminal
Server, or, it would be a fairly low cost add-on option.
We haven't had complaints about .TPS slowness (or corruption), but
most (75+ .TPS) files , in each system,are comparatively small (in the
sub 5,000 record range), the largest files, are around 500,000
records, or so.
I believe, many times, .TPS corruption can be traced to a NIC, or, the
NIC firmware needs an upgrade to sync with whatever flavor of Windows©
and motherboard firmware it happens to be running on.

| What is VNC?
Citrix will be an expensive solution but you could simply use Terminal
Services which is part of your Win2000 or Win2003. You may or may not
need the extras provided with Citrix.
