LISTSERV - TMSUSERS Archives - SI-LISTSERV.SI.EDU

Dear Nathan,

Much of our use of TMS is remote. We have Server 2003 set up for access via Microsoft Remote Desktop. Our users can log on from any computer, either Mac or PC, that has access to the Internet. The secret to acceptable speed is to set the display option to 256 colors. This shortens response time dramatically. The downside is that the images show up in cartoon colors, but for data entry and most inquiries, this doesn’t matter. When you need to see an image in full color, just disconnect from the server and reconnect at high color. Your TMS session remains right where you left it.

Feel free to contact me if you want more information.

Subject: Accessing TMS from offsite storage

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?

Thanks,
