While throughput on satellite is much higher than say dial up, latency can be 750 ms up to 1+ seconds. A good dial up connection is 150-250 ms. With Citrix, latency is more important than throughput, after a point. Can't say that I've done any testing, but given the latency numbers, my gut feeling is dial up would feel faster than satellite for Citrix in most situations. -chris ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: triCerat Inc.
