I've read this doc in the past, so thanks for passing this on.
I'm following in the footsteps of Andrew as there has been a lot of good
info, tweaks and hacks built up over the previous versions of both
Windows and Citrix, but it's becoming a bit more difficult to figure out
what tweaks still have to be applied and what now comes out of the box
in W2K3 and Citrix PS 4.0.
Anyone volunteering to take over from Rick's Tweak Citrix stuff and
Ron's OS2003 XLS spreadsheet? ;-) Doug, I'll pay for a revised copy of
MIAB!

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