Re: User BPCS Client with Remote access

Kusman,

We are on 6.1.01, MixedMode,  and have run the CEF and SCM clients over the 
INet to a W2K/Metaframe server.  Only one session can be run at a time 
because of the way BPCS & AS/400 identify users.  We had time out problems 
during peak INet usage hours in the US.  A better solution for us has been a 
VPN with the client running on the remote desktops.  You need pretty big 
pipes to the INet, especially on the end where the AS/400 lives and there are 
still slowdowns when the Eastern seaboard wakes up in the morning (our BPCS 
lives in Upstate NewYork, clients in London, Sydney and Singapore).  We have 
a remote plant in Mississippi, USA and another in Toronto, Canada that are 
connected via a Frame Relay WAN that seem to get much better response.  FR is 
not cheap, however.
