Advantage of upgrading from VB6 to .NET in VPN/Terminal Server environment

[Precious]

Our existing application is developed using VB6/SQL Server 2000, which is
used by remote users located at different places through vpn/terminal
server. It is a typical accounting application. I have to tell the client
about the advantages of converting it into .net, which should again be
deployed in vpn/terminal server environment. Can anybody give some
points/issues on the topic "Advantage of upgrading VB6 application .NET in
VPN/Terminal Server environment"


Thanks and Regards

Notice that .NET applications won't run on Windows NT4 Terminal Server.
If the application is stable and there will be few extensions in future,
IMO migration doesn't make much sense. But that's my personal opinion.
