Information on Remote Desktop with Windows Terminal Service

by carolynf Jun 13, 2005 4:20AM PDT

Hello - We have a remote location that we want to tie in to our accounting software and currently have a VPN to do so. When on a VPN, of course, keystrokes are not "real time" and the system is slow. The accounting software package (owned by MS) is saying that the Terminal Services is much faster. Can anyone tell me their thoughts on it? Do you feel like you are not on the web and actually in "real time". We have T1 lines and DSL lines - no dial up. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

But you can try TIGHTVNC (use google.com) to see if that sort of remote access is ok. It's certain to be thousands of dollars less than terminal server.
