Well considering we currently peak at 350 concurrent users it is definitely
a better price than Metaframe XPa.
As soon as I get the test network setup I will most likely download and see
how it does.   
We are trying to decide between straight Terminal services and something
like citrix or tarantella.   We would like more inexpensive option than
citrix. Currently our plan is to have a second datacenter and new customers
would go to tarantella and slowly migrate existing ones.  (We currently have
well over 1500 VERY widely scattered Devices connecting to our farm).

I certainly like the way they are marketing it.  Basically free, all you pay
for is a per user 2 year maintenance fee of $59.95.   Meaning you could get
100 users going for under $6000.  How much would it cost you to do the same
with Citrix? It makes it very appealing for a small corporation with  a
tight budget.

Nice product. You can get a fully functional demo directly off their
website.

I was referring to the Canaveral IQ.  The new one. We are looking at
implementing it on Server 2003.

I used it many times (If you mean Canaveral IQ that was New Moon's product)
and I do like it. In some aspects Citrix is trying to catch up to them. 
If you mean the old Tarantella product, Unix based, I also used and still
think it is useless.

Is Tarantella a Good alternative to Citrix?  Or are there any major
offsetting disadvantages to it?
