At California State Parks, users access TMS from locations throughout
the state using Citrix.  Dial-up connections are too slow to be
practical, but response is good with broadband connections (network,
cable, DSL).

Because TMS is a client server application, it is very sensitive to the
speed of the network.  The most efficient way to provide access from off
site locations is to put the application a terminal server, or Citrix
server.

I would like to hear how others have set up TMS for use from multiple
locations. We have our TMS server in our offices, but now most of our
TMS users are in an offsite storage facility and access to TMS in VERY
slow and difficult. Are there ways to configure the server and/or
network to help speed things up and make the connections more reliable?
