Michel, 

That's a good guide and has some useful tips - MPS4 has a good deal of that
doc built in what with the policy settings and the optimisations they've put
into the WI.

The MTU/Window Size etc settings were just something extra we were looking
at.

Perhaps the "Optimizing Citrix Technology For Operation Over Wireless Wide
Area Networks" could help some more?
