I've used RDP over a dial-up RRAS connection many, many times where I
was connected into the RRAS at 14.4kbps. Turn down the display size and
color settings, don't bring back sounds, don't connect remote drives, no
printers, set the experience to 28.8 modem, don't scan network drives
with your antivirus (this is a BIG one if you connect the remote drive
shares), and you're all set.

Try this one on for size, Andy: TS and RDP *are the same protocols*.
The only difference is in how the server deals with connections.

Well AccPac uses Pervasive SQL and is no light weight program thus it
would drown out the internet connection.
As for TS doing the same thing I tend to differ because a new client of
mine who I am moving off of TS for other reasons uses Terminal Server
both locally and remotely, their internet connection 3~4Mbit D/800k U
and they still has plenty of room for their Borland driven website which
they have clients and employees logging into during the day.

I don't use TS at all(I am assuming you are referring to Terminal
Services), but I do use RDP extensively (in fact I'm using it right
now), and I use it THROUGH a VPN connection via a ISA2004 server.
As for knocking down the bandwidth, you're going to get the same
connection speeds regardless of how you connect, as long as you're doing
it from the same location. The overhead of a VPN connection is minimal,
and doesn't really affect the overall speed.
So, here's how I do it... I leave my workstation turned on when I leave
(or power it on via WOL), connect to the ISA server via VPN, then use
Remote Desktop to reach my main computer just like I'm sitting there.
No need to spend money on TS licenses, when it's built into XP, and no
extra software licenses since I'm only using the one computer.
If the screen isn't refreshing fast enough, simply turn down the color
depth and/or use some of the other optimizing options within RDP.

Any good tips on security TS on ISA 2004 Server?? Someone wants to setup
TS to access their accounting package from home, since VPN will knock
down their bandwidth (5Meg Down/800K UP) we decided that TS would be
their best bet.
