Now that you mention it, I think I remember someone saying those 1200's =
are BSD based.  I forget exactly who shared that nugget of info.  It was =
a few months back.

My EON units have better ICA performance than my Winterms but they are =
also three years newer.  I think better hardware =3D better performance =
for my users here.  Stability/Reliability is another matter and Wyse =
loses in that area for me too.

I have not run any units at 128 bit encryption.  I know Neoware (and =
most other terminal makers) will gladly send you a demo unit to kick the =
tires on for a month or so.  Take a few of them up on it and see if any =
do a better job meeting your needs.  If you do buy, Neoware has the =
Preferred 200 terminal for $300 until the end of June.

Greg,

If it helps, the 1200LEs we're using are not CE based, they are the Wyse =
terminal OS jobbies.  Very fast ICA performance.

Will other terminal manufacturers have similar ICA client performance, =
even when using 128-bit encryption?

thanks,
adam
