My experiences have not been good in 2 different shops. In both sites, management was sold on "cheap" equipment. One site went Citrix (for a while), but the MCSE maintaining it couldn't keep it up. What I did learn was that Citrix seems like most NT type products, and likes it's own server. There is a definite load limit for each Citrix server. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is not Citrix certified or not willing to build a proper network. The 2nd site went with the cheap ethernet workstations, with a tn5250 built in. Diff mfgr use diff tn5250, some have features, others don't. Ours had "major" problems dealing with both network and AS/400 printing. We found the printer ports to be less than useless, and switched to proper network printers. For all this "bad news" I would equate it to shops that buy cheap pc's - same kinds of problems. jim franz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reeve Fritchman" <reeve@ltl400.com> To: "Midrange-L@Midrange.
