We are running the following on Citrix:  Word, Excel, Power Point,
Project, Access, Client Access, Notes, MS IE, Voloview, Adobe reader, etc.
Dial in and remote users like the speed of Citrix.  For example, I can
open a 15MB Notes document locally and it will take 30 seconds.  Our
remote plant, with radio and T1 connection may take 15 minutes.  However a
dial in citrix user gets near the performance I get.  Why?  Because it
doesn't open the entire document on their local PC, it just opens a screen
shot.  It looks pretty good when you can get a 386 citrix client blowing
the doors off of a souped up PC.

I worked with one of my clients to install thin clients and terminal
server.
Worked really well running 6 locations with 100 users across a frame
network.  It was a small environment and it really saved on the
maintenance
of keeping the software updated.  They used 5250 to the 400 and MS Office.
We had no problems.

Thin clients and CITRIX are becoming a standard in banking, and now in
many
school districts.  The advantage is that you can effectively create a
centerally managed, PC functionaly capable "dumb terminal" that the user
can't mess with.  In other words, the functionality of a PC, with the
security of a dumb terminal.

It's more expensive up front to implement, but because administration is
so
much less than using fat clients, thin clients cost less than PC's (and
don't require replacing every year or two), and 100 other reasons, it's
much
cheaper over time.

Hi Folks

Is anyone using thin clients instead of dumb terminals or PC's ?

If so, who's, what's the setup, etc. would be appreciated !

Thanks,

Chuck
