Yes . . .lack of vendor support for any software product your company
may implement and rely on for day to day operations is indeed something
to consider and be concerned about when / if someone chooses to go the
'free' route.=20
And this product doesn't offer any ability to auto-reconnect users to a
dropped RDP session either. As yours apparently does.
But to be fair, they "gave" away this product way before win2k3 was
released, and someone must still be putting in some effort on it if
they've updated their website and up'd their product version to support
win2k3.=20
Sadly enough, there are many companies that are using unsupported
software and hardware solutions from vendors that aren't in business
anymore. I've been to too many sites where the network was just barely
limping along, and the admin's continually applied liberal amounts of
duck-tape, chewing gum, and bailing wire to their setup just to make it
through the day. ;)
Good luck in your development efforts Claudio, I look forward to seeing
the results.=20

Oh yes I know them. The main issue is they are out of business and do
NOT support the product anymore (that is why they give it away). Good to
use at home for sure but I do not see many companies using unsupported
solutions from someone that is not even in business anymore. ;-)

Yes but NLB is not resource based what means it does not care about
CPU/# of users/Paging etc. Also it does not support reconnection to the
right server (unless you use 2003 Enterprise). WTSGateway Pro does all
that even with Windows 2000 Server.

If he is going TS2003 wouldn't he be able to do NLB for free?

As I said it is just a matter of adding this to an existing product that
we currently sell for US$ 299.00 (to load balance two terminal servers,
regardless of how many users/CPUs/Hyperthreading - :-) - you have).
How does that compare to the difference in price between XPs and XPa?

Hey guys,
As you are the best Citrix list around, I guess I must ask this question
here first.
I was playing with my WTSGateway Pro software last night and I figured
out we can easily change it to support ICA/XML. This means if you have 2
or 3 MetaFrame XPs servers, you would be able to load balance them
(resource based load balancing) without having to use Xpa. My question
is, is this worth anything? Or XPs is pretty much dead?
Also how much would you save on licensing if you get XPs instead of Xpa
for let's say 90-100 users (assuming around 30-35 users per server)? I
do not sell Citrix at all so I have no idea what is the price difference
between XPs and Xpa per user and even if XPs is still available.
Finallyt I want to let you know we will be releasing bi-directional
audio for RDP very soon in case anyone is interested. :-)
See ya!
