TS Over 64k Frame Relay ?

[Eric Daly]

I have 5 remote sites that connect back to our head
office. All of these sites have a 64k Frame Relay link.

Currently we run our main company application on all
client pc's using Reflections which links back to our Unix
server in HQ.
Also our exchange 2000 email server is based in HQ and all
client pc's access this over the 64k link.
This is affecting performance on the frame relay links.

I am planning to install a terminal server in HQ and get
all remote pc's to connect to all applications using this
server.

Has anybody achieved this using a 64k Frame Relay link
before. If so could you let me know what performance is
like on the client end ??
Each site has no more than 5 pc's.

You should assume that each terminal services session will
consume about 20KBits/sec. If you have 5 users at a site,
then a 64KBits/sec line is probably going to cause some
bottlenecks.

We are currently running TS over a 64K Leased Line and
the most users we can accomadate before they start to see
a loss in performance it 2.
