what type of application are you running it out to these people? Would
something like softricity be a better fit?
I'm assuming that your users are dialing in directly to the CDC network.
Is that correct? If that's the case then the packeteer will not help. It
seems to me that if they can run the app locally and synch the data back
at a more appropriate time would be a better solution. It's going to be
very difficult to get your stats down low enough to make the system
usable over such difficult situations.
I would shut everything down, drive remappings, port mappings, printer
mappings, EVERYTHING. It still may not be enough. It depends on the
application itself. it very well could still clog the lines with
constant screen refreshes or whatever.
These are for a few dozen users in undeveloped countries with poor infrastructure.************************************************
I have done:
Enable SpeedScreen - *Done*
Lower both your resolution and color depth -* Done*
Disable audio -* Done*
Disable port mapping - *Was looking at this, citrix policy in MPS 3.0?*
If they don't need to print, disable printing. - *Was looking at this, citrix policy in MPS 3.0?*
Maybe look into a packeteer type unit for your home site. - *For dial up connections?*

wow, and being CDC you are the guys that really need communications.
Just some thoughts:
Enable SpeedScreen
Lower both your resolution and color depth
Disable audio
Disable port mapping
If they don't need to print, disable printing.
Maybe look into a packeteer type unit for your home site.

We have users in "undeveloped" countries, where telecommunication systems are questionable at best, that connect at dial-up speeds in the 15k to 20k range. These users connecting to our Citrix environment complain that our "system is useless" :-p it is my experience and opinion that you need at least 20k for Citrix, ideally 26K. Is there "any" ideas on how to handle these users over a crappy connection?
