reply to: I'll never forget that line, "We can run it over a T1!  It's
that fast!"

Like you also said:
Sure, it's not the PC's fault that the app is 3 times slower, but since
it always happens that way, maybe it is :-)

We've come up with a corporate direction in one case, but first some
background information.  We have a nice workflow application that is Notes
based.  This is an ISO based system for approvals, etc.  Everything from
Document Control, Corrective Actions, Engineering Change Notices, APQP,
etc.  One thing we've discovered is that it has LOTS of huge attachments,
etc.  This is causing a problem with some of our remote sites.  And, yes,
many of them are on T1's.  Now, our radio towers seem to handle it without
blinking an eye.  But some of the other remotes hate the several minute
load time to bring up a document.  Our solution?  Put the remote clients
on Citrix.  That way just the screen, and not the remote data, is going
across the line.  Performs like a local client.
