Re: WDSC remote performance

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the reasons of connections dropping, I always prefer a VPN 
connection to the office network - then Remote Desktop through that 
VPN - to my running desktop machine - which I can reboot if need be 
and get back to if needed. The benefit is, if the connection drops, 
my work is still there on the machine at work - if I run WDSC through 
the VPN and the connection drops, too bad - lost stuff. Yes, WDSC 
does some stuff to save changes, but I don't want to depend on that. 
This was the same issue with PC5250 sessions dropping when I lost a 
connection - would much rather run the PC5250 on the machine at work 
- it's just not as reliable over any Internet technology, in my 
experience. Local has always been best for me.

OTOH, I work at a customer site over VPN and have no machine there to 
RD to - it has worked OK - it all depends, I guess. Maybe on luck!!
